Auntie Linda, Heather and Ashley,
You three are Angels. We all will miss Uncle John very much. Thank you for always treating my sisters and I like your own children. I will never forget the birthday breakfasts and dancing on Friday nights with you, while Uncle John would be watching his shows. I will always remind Caroline how Uncle John called her his "little budda baby". Uncle John always had a positive outlook on life. We are here for you always.

With Lots of Love,
Lyn (Ninny), Ugo and Caroline

John was my assistant at Shaw's. He always came to work with a smile and made everyone look forward to coming to work. He was a gentle giant who only had good things to say about everyone. We will miss him a lot.

Hi John,

I feel blessed to have had the chance to know and love you, over the years. Heather popped into my life all those years ago and there has not been a dull moment since, as I am sure you know! Your family welcomed me with open arms and open hearts. You became family.

I'll always remember how my father, Linda, and you brought Heather and me to visit Lesley for the first time. I'll always remember all the days and nights you would bring us to and from Lesley, and how you would cart us around to pick up food, movies, books, etc. etc. etc. I remember the endless nights Heather and I would spend sitting in her room talking for hours and you would pop in to give us a kiss goodnight or to say, “Heather, get Jenny a water. Get her a snack too. We have plenty of snacks out there. We just went shopping.” I’ll always think fondly about our many trips to Salem, the visits at Nancy and Danny’s house, and of course playing Bocce (even though the men were a little upset that the women were winning). :-)

I find it so easy to love Linda and you because the two of you are so much like my own parents, friendly, warm, caring, and loving. You are deeply loved by not only me, but also my family. The only thing that helps us cope is knowing that you are truly in a better place now, with no pain or suffering. A place of love and happiness is where you will live eternally. We will all be reunited someday. I love you.

Linda, Heather, and Ashley, I am deeply sorry for your loss. Your husband and father was an amazing man. He seemed to always live life to the fullest. I see him in each of you. I know you will make him proud with each and every thing you do. I will always be there for all of you. Please let me know if I can do anything for you.

Love Always,
Jen
