Not sure what to say?

Dear Johnny, It´s been 13 years now. I´m 72, 8 years older than you were when you passed from this earth. Our older sister Louise passed this summer at 83 -June 16th. I was with her until the end- it was tough John. I hope and pray she´s with you and Mom. Here I remain, the youngest. Still standing...head unbowed. Grateful for my life; I try each day to live in a meaningful, good and loving way...in honor of you and Mom. Your life ended much too soon. And Mom´s was much too hard. I love...

Dearest Johnny, It´s been 11 years but seems shorter. I miss you forever, love you even longer. Until we meet again , I carry you in my heart. Your little sister, Sally

Dear Johnny,
My beloved brother. It’s been eight years since your beautiful soul slipped away from the bondage of your suffering body. Hardly a day goes by without a thought of you.

I try my best to live my life with gratitude, with an appreciation for beauty and the simple things you are not here to share. I hope we will meet again in that place where bad can’t go. Until then, I’ll stay strong and kind and try my best to do the next right thing.
Miss you big brother....

Johnny my dear & precious brother, it's been over two years. The meaning of time has changed since you left us. I still can't believe you're gone. Every time I see something magnificent and beautiful, I am aware that you are not here to witness it. This makes me sad for you, but grateful that I am still standing in your place. I will do my best to honor your life by living mine with as much gratitude and love as I can manifest. It's not always easy, as I miss you so and I feel you should...

I met on through our interest in family history. He was the one who inspired me to get started in writting down our family history. I'm so sorry he is gone. I will pray for him and his family.

my love...A new day dawns once again.
I stare at where you used to lay your head.
I close my eyes and see your face so clearly,
That smile that could bring me to my knees.
Those eyes that saw into my very soul.
My heart aches for the touch of your hands on my skin,
the taste of your kiss on my lips.
I've come to understand the meaning of loneliness.
I wipe away a tear.
It's almost more than I can bear.
I ask for the strength to get me through another day without...

I only met him once, and very briefly. I wish I got to know him better.

Monique, Sally and Louise,

I will honor and celebrate the accomplishments, against all odds, Johnny achieved in his life. My sincerest sympathies to you. We all feel the pain of his loss.

Love,

Patty
