Karen and John, my deepest regrets that I am just now reading for the first time precious Johnny's beautiful and stirring obit. Karen I have said it always, you should be a writer. I love this picture and know that in as much as Johnny was a special gift from heaven to you guys, you were the most perfect parents a baby could have ever had. I am so sorry I did not know of the service or else I would have been there. I love you guys, and you know I loved Johnny with the big, absolutely...

As so many others have said, I do not know your family, but was moved to tears by the beautiful tribute you gave your son. He, like all children, was a precious gift. His life was so brief, but he was unbelievably lucky to have parents like you. May God comfort you in your sorrow.

Karen and family, so very sorry for your loss. Karen, you and I were pregnant at the same time when you were working here at the USAO, and my daughter Collette is just a few months younger than John. I can't imagine what you're going through, but please know that our prayers are with you.

John and Karen, I just learned of JohnJohn's passing. Words cannot express my sorrow. While I didn't know him, I certainly know the love that a child can invoke in your heart. I pray that you find the strength to weather this storm together. As a GranNee to two beautiful little bundles of joy, I can only imagine the pain. When you're flooded with sadness, think of his beautiful face. When you're tempted to give up, think of his perseverance. I will keep you and your family in my...

I do not know you at all, and you do not know me, but I am writing to say how sorry I am at the loss of your beloved son. The obituary you wrote was so vivid and beautiful, I felt I could almost hear John listing his favorite foods and laughing. I can't begin to imagine your heartbreak, but I want you to know that I am praying for you and your family tonight. God bless and keep all of you.
