Joao "John" DaSilva

Silva...i can't believe that it has been 1 year. You are missed very much!!! Lake of the Springs was nice, but not the same without you. I know that you were there in spirit with us. We have so many great memories of you there and every time we go there it makes me feel that you are there with us. My dear friend you will always have a special place in my heart. I know that you and Noelia are up in heaven together watching over us..we miss you both very much!!! Keep sending dragon flies and...

Silvin, Lake of the Springs was not the same without you. I see Blue Dragon Flies and think of you...I missed my morning coffee with you, but felt you there all the time. There are many mornings when I put your picture in front of me and talk to you while I drink. We followed Danny to the Flying J on the way home....how many times have we followed you. It felt so surreal. I felt your spirit over the trailer as Danny was driving. I tell Ema about you all the time. she will never forget...

Well, what can I say. John was a great man. I know he loved me and everyone else in this family. I just wish, I would've gotten to know him a little better, you know? Every time we were camping, there were so many things I could've said to him, but for some reason I just didn't. That is something I regret quite often. I guess this is just one of those situations where you don't know how much you love someone, until they are gone.

I have learned many things over this past four...
