We are still missing you Uncle John... you are always in my thoughts. You know I think that when times are getting rough, just to think of everything I have in and around me gets me by and the thought that you are in heaven watching over all of us eases my mind, and leaves me with a smile on my face! I know you are smiling...

You know, even though years and miles were between us, I remember my uncle John as if it were yesterday that I last talked with and saw him. That's what family is all about. Being there as if you never left. I remember your smile and the way you would joke around. Yea you were quiet, but you always seemed to be holding in the punch line til it was time..lol. That's how I will keep you in my heart. I love you uncle John. Now that you are at peace, you will always, now and forever, be remembered in our memories and never be forgotten!

I am so sorry to hear about John. I know it has been years since I have seen any of you but I remember him fondly. I remember that he was a quiet man, with a quiet sense of humor. He was always a really nice guy. Donna & I recently lost our brother, Jesse, tragically and I know there is nothing anyone can say to ease the pain but please know that we are thinking of you and praying for your family. God bless all you.
