I can't believe your gone! You were so good to me & I wish you were still here so I was able to tell you how much of a help you were and how much I appreciate you!! I loved you so much that I considered you as my grandfather. You would do anything to make people happy and people were grateful for that! I will never forget all the times you tried helping me with my Mommom and all the times you tried handing me money to do some stuff for you! You did anything you could for me so I would do anything in the world for you without being handed a penny!! You will be missed so much and you will always have your own space in my heart! You would always make me laugh, you would always tell me to keep my beautiful smile on my face, you would always tell me to keep trying and to never give up on anything. I'm so upset that I can't have those special moments with you anymore!! You will be missed by many of people and I'm a big part of all those people!!! I'm glad your now out of pain and your not suffering anymore but knowing your not with us anymore is so upsetting! I will always love you no matter if your with me or not!

John. As sad as it is that you are gone. You are now pain free. And that's all that matters. I will never forget all the memories we have together, from you tickling my feet every time I'm there to you cooking breakfast every Saturday morning. It's gonna take awhile to get used to walking into mommoms and not seeing you smiling but I know you are in a better place. I love you John and thank you for being in my life.

In loving memory of John Becky. We have been very close friends for a very long time and I can't tell you how much I appreciated you! You have done everything and anything for me and the rest of the family. You would go over and beyond to make anyone happy! You were so good to my grandchildren and they told me how much they love you and how good of a guy you are!! They treated you as their grandfather!!!! I would do anything to have you back in my life. You were a huge help and you were a special gift from God to me! I can't tell you how many good laughs we had and how many good memories we had! We would sit together for hours and just talk! We have known each other for a very long time and you have lived with me for about 18 years and those 18 years were the best years of my life. I've tried my best to keep you going and I tried my best to get you to beat cancer. When I seen you suffering, my heart was broken. I sat by your bed and I rubbed your back, and I bathed you in your bed, and I did everything else I could do to help you! Seeing you suffer made me wanna lay in bed and just cry because you looked so different and you looked so sick. My heart was just broken seeing you like that! When we had All those party's and family dinners, you were the main person carrying chairs in the house, carrying pots into the kitchen and everything else! I will never forget you and you will always have your special spot in my heart because you mean so much to me! You were my Bestfriend for so many years and you still are. I love you so much John. Fly High!!

John I know you are finally out of pain enjoying the beautiful heaven up above, I am so proud of the way you fought so hard, you could have given up but you didn't you fought till the end when God took you with open arms. We had a talk when mommy was in the hospital and I meant every word I said. Thank you for loving my mom the way you did and always being by her side you have to continue to do that from heaven now, but I know you will. I know it was so hard for you to not be able to help mommy when she got so sick the same as it was so hard for mommy not to be able to take care of you the two of you had the best friendship anyone could have. I know you were laughing at me today when I was making the coffee for mommy today because I had no clue what the hell I was doing and I was thinking to myself this is John's job and laughed to myself , I love you John and will miss you so much your little buddy was sad when we had to tell him the bad news but he took it like a trooper I'm sure he will be sending you balloons at some point. The girls were sad to but they know how sick you were and they just wanted you better so they understand you had to go to heaven for that to happen.Patty and Bernice I am so sorry for your loss your brother was one of a kind and I'm glad I had the pleasure to know him May God help you all through this difficult time and keep the happy memories coming the happy memories will help void the pain of loosing your brother. I know I have so many memories tucked away that will live on with me and my family love to you both

John as sorry as I am to know that you are gone, I'm great full God has chosen to end your suffering. I smile at the thought of your glorious home coming. You were always very kind and loving to our family and our lives were better because you were a part of it. My sisters family was blessed to have you and the love, thoughtfulness, and mutual admiration you and my sister shared over the years made both your lives a little easier. You and those that loved you will be in my prayers at this time.
