Not sure what to say?

My favorite memory was pranking him & wondering why he'd get so mad & chase me around! And our Red Wings conversations. Miss you, cousin.

May 2025. It has been 16 years since you left us. It's hard to believe that it has been that long. I hope your soul is at peace. Miss you, big bro. Love you.

Some pain aches fir a lifetime. We miss you more than words can say.

Johnny My eyes well up with tears thinking about you. I/we miss you still. We talk about you. We remember memories and share them with one another and friends. Oaklee knows about Papa John. I know you are one of her guardian angels. You'd love her so much! Your daughter's are all beautiful and grown up. They miss you and have really been working on getting through life without you. I want to tell you that I think of you and I know you walk beside me everyday. I also want to tell you that...

I still miss you, John. I think of you all the time. I pray your soul is at peace.

It's been a long time. My heart has not healed. I loved you, John.
Dad

It has almost been a whole year since Johnny has been gone. I still wonder why ... *sigh*

Cousin Johnny, I feel such a sense of loss and waste, after reading the journal entries, there is no doubt you were much loved and are missed terribly. We grew up for many years, raised by our best friend fathers as cousins. I remember many days of laughter, and we had lots of fun when were young. I wish you could have known my kids and I wish we'd have stayed in touch. I pray you are at peace. Love, roger's daughter, Shelley

Sorry to hear of your loss of your son, John & Wanda; and to Debbie & family with the loss of your husband and father.
Words cannot adequately express your loss. We just wanted to know that we care and send you our sympathy and love.
May God watch over you and care for you in the difficult days ahead.
