Not sure what to say?

Virginia , I am so sorry to hear about John. He was one of the finest individuals that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I spent a lot of time with John and Kevin McLelland during our years at UK. I was a huge fan throughout his career and often wondered how he was doing in retirement. I am mortified to tell you that I just learned of his death today while watching a report on Jim McMahon and Dave Duerson today on ESPN. I feel Ike such a fool that I didn't even know. I want you...

This is your second birthday away from us and it's not any easier than the first. We know you are in a better place but our selfish hearts still wish you were here. Hope you are looking down as we send up our undying love to you. Happy Birthday to you in heaven from the three of us who adored you most! OXOXOX

I cannot believe it has been a year. Seems like yesterday. At least he is in a safer place now, along with your dad and my mom and dad and many other special people. I also think its great that the donation of his brain may help other families in the future cope with such losses.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and the boys always.

Virginia, Johnny & Eric,

A year later, you continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. I know your love for John has carried you thorugh this year and will continue to give you strength to press on...

I love you!

Virginia - Thinking of you and your boys. Your notes make me cry. You loved him dearly that is clear. God bless you and keep you until you meet again.

Cannot believe it's been a year. We miss you every single day. The void you left will never be filled. Thanks for the many wonderful memories we now hang on to. It's just not the same here without you! You were the BEST! Forever in our hearts!!

VA,
I just wanted to let you know that there is not a day that goes by that i dont think of you! I hope you are doing good.

Love,
Jennifer T.

Nothing will ever be the same. My broken heart is overwhelmed with sorrow. You were my light & strength. I am so lost without you.

John,

Six months ago yesterday you left our lives. Your passing has served as a reminder to me how precious and short life really is. I truly am sorry that we didn't get to do some of things we talked about doing. I had hoped to make it to Alaska with you someday. We shared some great times together and with our families. You surely will be missed. George Strait summed it up pretty well with his song "See you on the other side" except in the song he sings "If I make it". I can tell you...
