Merry Christmas Uncle John. We miss you soo much and it was not the same to not have you with us this Christmas. I always loved you soo much and looked up to you. You added so much fun and laugher to our family and I can't begin to tell you how much we miss that. I know you miss us too and I look forward to seeing you someday in heaven. I know that you are looking down on us and smiling. I am trying to take care of Auntie the best I can because I know you would want me to and I love you...

Merry Christmas buddy, hope you are in a place where there is only love and happiness...no words can express how much I miss you in my life and how empty my world is without you in it. Being brave is so hard but acting brave is a lot easier and people always think I am so brave...guess I could win an acadamy award. Christmas wasn't the same without you but you would love the girls ....I think Kaitlyn and Emma will be great friends and you would be sooooo proud of them. I f you can ever figure...

Hey John
Hope you are finally at peace and happy where ever you are! On the calander you have been gone 9 months but in my heart in seems like only moments. I miss you so much more everyday and can't imagine my life without you in it..it is the hardest road I ever have to walk....and I wish everyday that I went before you. Our Anniversary is upcoming and it will be an awful day without you to celebrate it. Beau looks for you every time he hears a car in the driveway and so do I.You...

Well, its been eight months since you left to be with all our family in heaven but I miss you more and more everyday! They say time heals all but so far it isn't working too well for me. The smile, laughter, fun and long talks we had are probably what I miss the most. My wish for you is that you are in a better place with no more pain or suffering but my life is so empty without you and my heart is so broken. You would have loved seeing litle Allie and all the girls and you would have been...

Thanks Shawn and Niki for keeping Uncle JOhns guest book open for the year. I don't have to tell you how much he loved all of you. He loved the girls but Kyle always held that piece of his heart that only the men in the family shared. You, Kyle and Uncle John were like the secret service, always up to something that was fun and exciting! I think if UJ misses anything, it would be Kyle always rubbing his bald head.....but little boys just grow up to be big boys and you all have your stories. I...

John, I know you are feasting at the heavenly banquet with all the other saints that have gone on before you. How comforting to know that we will all be reunited with those we have loved and lost. Although it was my misfortune to have not had the opportunity to know you, Maryann's love for you speaks for itself. Her "John" ....a man with such a wonderful soul. Someday we will meet in our "Father's house". Until then, we'll keep praying for "your" Maryann. Peace in Christ! Bonnie Shepherd

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Rest in peace....
Amen
