Dear Susan and Family,
I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time. I remember John so fondly during his time with our program; he was always so helpful and thoughtful and kind - ready to help anyone in need. His smile was not easily forgotten; some students just seem to "stick" with you, and John will forever be one of those. I have every CD you guys burned for me and I still listen to them. Now, when I do, I will not only think of John, but pray for all of you. God must have needed an extraordinary angel to help Him with some special project. My heart goes out to you, and words cannot express to you how sorry I am. John was a wonderful boy, and an exceptional son. He always smiled when we spoke about you.
Sincerely, Mary Ellmore, RN

What a terrific young man! Johnny was there to always help you out. We never saw him without a smile on his face. He was larger than life at family functions. He was a super Uncle to Tyler and Anthony; a great brother and brother-in-law to Jen and Josh; a kind and loving nephew to Aunt Pam; an adored grandson to Granny and most of all a loving and good son to Sue and John. It was an honor to have known Johnny and you will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with John and Sue and all their family and friends. Mary and Monroe Neustein, Cutler Bay, Florida

My favorite memory of Johnny is through my father's eyes. When "Uncle Bud" visited, Johnny was always there to help him in and out of the car, in and out of the wheelchair, or getting him a cocktail:) He was always so patient, gentle and kind to his Uncle Bud.

To my Florida family, you continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. The salty tears running down my cheeks bring back memories of all those we have lost as a family. Although I am not with you physically I am with you in spirit.

For those present in my life and for those who have passed on I remember all through eyes of love knowing that we are all held in the loving hands of God.
Peace and much love your cousin Linda and family
