Dear Family:
only God and time can possibly heal a hurt such as we have all experienced in the loss of John.The Master Planner had another place for him to reside until we can all go to be with him. I love you all dearly and you will be in Uncle Baker and my prayers

I will miss my Uncle John. I am 23 years old and this never gets any easier, especially when you have a family as close as ours. The minutes before Uncle John passed it began to rain...maybe to wash away all the bad, or maybe it was our family members in Heaven letting us know that they were with us and ready for him....but afterwards we had gone outside and the rain smelled like fish...all I could think was, " he's fishing." I love him and he will be missed so very much. Lots of love Brandi, Sean, and Makayla
