Ali, Brian & Tara,
You have always been in my thoughts and prayers.
This isn't an easy time for any of you.
I enjoyed meeting John and could see how much he loved his family.

What a blessing for having a great Dad & husband.

Much love to you all,
Jen Braithwaite

To Alice, Brian & Tara,

I know the depth of your loss and the emptyness you now feel in your hearts. I want you all to know that during my time with my brother, he shared how lucky he was to have such a good life and a great family. He never thought of himself, but always was concerned about you during these past few weeks.

He left us too soon, but he will never be forgotten. I am thankful to God for the time he allowed me to share with my brother during this difficult time.

God Bless You All as you remember your husband and your Dad. May God bring you His Peace at this time.

I Love You,

Auntie Joannie

John, the thing I remember most is the positive outlook no matter what. You were always looking on the bright side of things. When we visited you last even though you knew the seriousness of matters you were joking and smiling. You were an inspiration to us. God bless you. We know you are at peace now with your loved ones.

Dear Ali, Brian & Tara:

All the moments of joy and laughter that your dad, mom, Uncle Sandy and I shared way back when will remain in my heart forever. He was a great brother, a loving dad and wonderful grand-dad. Ben and I send our love and share in your pain for his loss. God bless.

Dad you always showed me love & understanding. You were never my Father,
but always my Dad. You made time for me and always made me want more. I think what I will miss most is talking to you. You were always there through good news & bad news. I know in my heart that you're in heaven now. I know that you are happy and your smiling again. I know that uncle Sandy, Nana, Papa, and all our dogs were there to embrace you Dad. Thank You for being my Dad I will always love you, Your son
Brian
