Aimee,
I will certainly miss your John's warm smile and friendly manner. I enjoyed feeding you and him at Pecos over the years. He was always so helpful in helping me market the restaurant. Please keep in touch (we're neighbors) and let me know if their is anything I can help you with.

Aimee, you already know how we feel.Our saddest moment, and one that will linger with us for a long time, was when we were notified that you and John would not be joining us for lunch that fateful day. We were so looking forward to that day.I was so thankful that John and I spoke at length the day before to make those arrangements. We need to get together soon so that we can have that margarita that John and you missed.
With love,

So sorry to hear of John's passing. I worked with him at Aetna in Houston and saw him at the Aetna reunion a few years ago. He was always cheery, friendly, and had a great sense of humor. Our sympathy goes out to his family.

Dear Aimee, John was a very special part of our lives and I share your sadness. I was looking forward to seeing him in September. It was such a blessing that he was here two months ago for my John's service. I know the two of them are rejoicing together now. My love and prayers are with you and your family.

We're so glad we got a chance to spend some special time with John just a few short weeks ago at the beach. What a great laugh he had! He was always quick with a joke and incredibly comfortable with life! He made us all relax and enjoy ourselves. He will be missed greatly! I can still picture him listening to great music and staring out at the sunset.. tapping his foot.. with a smile on his face. He was a happy man who enjoyed life. So glad our little Sofi got to know Uncle John too. We love you, Aimee, and are thinking of both of you.

John, you were once the love of my life and I will never forget you. As I told you during your visit to me in Rancho Santa Fe, the smartest thing you ever did was to marry Aimee. I know your parents were happy to meet with you again. You were their pride and joy. I will miss you and my heart and condolences go to Aimee . Love, Jinny

My friend Aimee, I am so sorry to hear of John’s death. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I know you will miss him deeply. I will never forget John playing the piano and the comfort it gave my family when my uncle JB was so ill.

We will miss our special brother, who was a member of our family for the past 12 years. While John was surviving major health problems a few years ago, we were braced for the worst possibilities for months on end, but our anxieties were put to rest as he recovered to his prior sharp witted, yet gentle, self. In hindsight, John's peaceful passing at home in his own bed had to be in the lord's plan all along. We were fortunate to have been able to share John's presence for these "borrowed years", so we do have that silver lining to give us solace as we grapple with this sudden unexpected loss. Our thoughts and prayers will be with Aimee as she walks this path.
