Not sure what to say?

Dear - it is hard to be without you. I am struggling through the tasks you left me to handle -- but I wish you were here to give me a hug. I miss you so much it hurts. I am sorry that we never got to Australia for you -- or Nigara Falls -- or Yellowstone.

You were the best lifemate I could ask for. Your dogs and I talk about you every days. Sometimes the cats chip in. I love you

Thank you John, for being "the gentle Giant" in our family. We will always treasure the memories of great times with you and Jean at the cabin...at the river...and at our family get-togethers. We will miss your wonderful "Cabin View" wine...but there is an empty bottle on the bottle-tree in the garden to remind us of your last gift. Yes, we grieve your passing, but we feel so fortunate to have known you as our friend. We are so glad to have seen you at the cabin one last time.

Daddy was the best father 2 girls could have asked for! We couldn't have picked him any better! Sister and I miss you so much! We love you Daddy!! (Peanut and Puddin')

I was so very sorry to learn of Johnny's passing. The last time I saw him was one Christmas when he and his wife stopped by my in-laws for a short visit. He and Bill Smith (my brother-in-law) had been good friends throughout their school years. Jean, I understand what you and your family are feeling, because I went through the same emotions when my husband, Ricky, died 5 years ago. Please let Susanne know how sorry I am and that I would love to hear from her sometime

We're so sorry to learn of John's passing.

John was a wonderful, kind and caring man. He will be sorely missed here at DOT. Your family will be in my prayers and I pray God gives you the strength to get through this difficult time.

On behalf of the Lackland Administrative Professional Association we offer to the family, our heartfelt condolence.

John was a great musician and fun fellow, from my many attendances of ESP events. There will be a special place in heaven for those who had to listen to Don's jokes, especially more than once. ;-) John, all who knew you will miss you. My prayers are with your family and friends.
May the circle be Unbroken.

You and your family have our deepest sympathy. God has plucked one of his best from the garden. Please keep the faith and our prayers are with your family.
