Not sure what to say?

It’s been a long time now, but I had a dream about John last night and google led me here this morning. John and I met while working at Source4 and became quick friends. Even went on a couple dates to shows and a Batman movie he was a great friend and a thoughtful, funny person to be around. He brought me a lot of joy and great conversation over the years we knew one another, and now I’m a mom and it absolutely breaks my heart in a new way to think of losing one of my children. So, I just...

Ky, may the Lord continue to shadow you with His Grace and Mercy. May He keep his hands upon you and your family. May He bring joy and peace into your hearts during your time of sorrow. And may He bless and keep you.

I was so sorry to hear about John. He wrote a great review on my son's band, Electric Chameleon. He wrote about them just the way they would have liked listners to perceive them. His way with words and his ability to really "hit the nail on the head" was uncanny. He was so talented. Thank you for your son. The excitement and encouragement that his article inspired has led the group in a very positive direction and they have just released their first official CD (also won battle of the...

My daughter, Dana, worked with John several years and she depended on him greatly. She loved him like a second son and she told me often how much she thought of him and how hard he fought to regain good health. I also had the privilege of meeting him one time. My thoughts are with you, your mother and family.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss of John. I encountered John as a student at ECPI Technical College in Roanoke and I have many great memories of him. It was always a pleasure in talking to him in room 105 as he switched computers from in the morning to the afternoon since he was here all day. I also loved his costume at Halloween. I always will remember him as a great student and a fun person to be around.

With Kindest Memories and regards,

Ky, I would like to say how saddened I am to hear about John. You and I have become friends while working at Wachovia (First Union), you helped me through some VERY rough times with my son being terminally ill as well, you AND John were so wonderful to us. When you left the bank, I was lost, no one knew what I was feeling and I had no one to answer questions that came up. But God introduced me to some of the same people that you knew and I was able to keep in touch. When my son passed away, 9...
