I am so sorry to hear about Dan. I knew him quite well at Loyola and will always remember him as a good friend and a kind soul. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

Hi my Brother,

I think of you every day and with each passing day I realize just how much I miss you. I wish I was there for you a lot more when you were on this Earth with us. The saying " you don’t know what you have until it is gone" sure applies for me here. I know you are still around, in the wind and the trees and everything that brings peace to me, and I hope someday you will again grace me with your presence.

Love ya,

You’re little Brother John (JP)

PS Marissa really misses you a lot. If you get the chance please send her a message (even if it is in her dreams) that you are in a better place and you miss her also.
