I never had the pleasure of meeting you John, but my very best friend in the world is your mother, Dolores, and you were her pride and joy. Sadly, I'm writing this today on the morning after her own passing, comforted as I'm sure your sister Dolores, nieces and nephews are, that you are together, along with your father and sisters in the presence and peace of our Lord and Savior.
