May John rest in Love. I worked for him from 1999 to 2003 and loved every moment of that time. My heart is breaking for you all right now.

Just over two years ago, I wasn't able to write this. Now its more appropriate.
To John--You know your friend is holding the door open for you.
To everyone--I offer this poem.
DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift...

May the Lord give you Peace during this difficult time. I know John is with his creator looking down on all of us with his infectious smile. I too will miss my friend and look forward to the day I get to see him again in Heaven!
