Read MoreOh, John, I miss your smile, your laugh, and mostly, your hugs. When I saw you the last time, I asked you how long you would be in the Army. When you told me, I put my head on your chest, and I don't know if I can last that long. You just hugged me and laughed. . How I loved you and still do. I'm sure Steven was there to meet you.
You left alot of broken hearts. Your loving aunt.

The years have passed fast, many times during each year there are events and memories that would have been made better by your presence. Now at 56 and 14 years have passed you are still missed and loved. I feel confident we will see each other again under much better circumstances. Till then, life is a gift and needs to be lived in manner with purpose and meaning.

We Will Not Forget. We posted a remembrance of CWO Priestner on our facebook page, US HOCKEY PLAYERS SUPPORT OUR TROOPS. This is a humble token, but heartfelt in every way.

Another November arrives and reminds me of the sad period in our lives when you no longer remained with us.

JR, you are remembered this weekend by all that knew you and miss your smile, your humor, and selflessness.

Oh, John-how I dislike November so much. Losing you, the service at Arlington and then your memorial at your high school the day after Thanksgiving takes the joy of the holiday season out of me. I think of you so often. How I love your laugh and I always remember you saying my name. Who can ever forget your personality, your smile and your hugs. I miss you. I LOVE YOU but then you knew that. We have such great memories of you and Roger growing with my kids. I love you. Your Aunt Lois
