John A. Rodriguez

Johnny,

There is so much I want to tell you, most of it you already know, but writing it down makes me feel a little more at peace. Not having you in my life anymore doesn't seem possible....I still wait for you to walk through the door and ask what's for dinner. I know you know that your father and I love you very much, and you will never be far from our thoughts. When you moved in with us, you can't imagine how happy your father was to have you share our home with us and...

IT HAS BEEN A TRAGIC REUNION FOR SO MANY OF US WHO HAVE LOST TOUCH THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. ALTHOUGH JOHN IS NO LONGER WITH US, AND WE WILL NEVER AGAIN "RUN INTO" HIM AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD, HE WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR THOUGHTS AND MEMORIES. TO HIS FAMILY - MAY GOD OFFER YOU STRENGTH AS YOU GO THROUGH THIS DIFFICULT TIME. WE HOPE THAT YOU KNOW WHAT AN IMPACT YUR SON HAD ON OUR LIVES. HIS ABILITY TO MAKE OTHERS SMILE WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED. MAY HE REST IN PEACE.

To John,
I'm so glad that I had the chance to know you. I have so many good memories of you, all of which can't help but make me smile. You were such an awesome person. I can't believe that I won't see you again. I am really going to miss you.

To John's Family,
Please know that John touched so many people's lives and that all of us are keeping you in our prayers.

John,
It's been awhile since the last time we've seen each other, but I want you to know that I will always remember your smile and the way you made me laugh. You were always a good person, and you will never be forgotten.

To the family and friends of John-My deepest thoughts and prayers are with you. John is now in a better place, watching down on all of you. May his memory never be forgotten.

My heartfelt condolences to the family.

I was at a loss of words and thoughts when I was informed that you were taken from this world. Only 20 and gone in an instant. This kind of tragedy lets us reflect on our own lives and see that all that are near are precious and should not be taken advantage of. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. May God Bless You and keep you in his arms. You were a great guy, always looking out for your friends.

Koula, please hang in there, be strong like I know you...

Dear Al,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Our deepest prayers are with you and your family at this time.

John, I am at a loss for words. I had the best time getting to know you and Koula in class. You were so strong and helpful to everyone (a smart person at our study group?), and the whole class knows what great friends you and Koula are. It was obvious from the very start. Our prayers are with you and Koula and your family.
