Dear Barbara, it's been quite a while since I've seen you. I hope that you and your family are well. I know that life will never be the same for you since John made his transition. Indeed he was a fine talented young man with great professional potential. Although we understand the certainty surrounding death, in John's case, you, his family, and friends remain thankful for the beautiful presence he brought into our lives. May God continue His blessings upon you.

Little John, that's how I will always remember you. When I think back, I still can't believe that you aren't here with us, but Gods plan for you far surpasses what I(we) can comprehend. I never told you how proud I was of you, I was, and I still am. Occasionally, I will wake up in the middle of the night and catch I Love Lucy. We used to love watching that show, especially the Sally Sweet episode. I love you dearly. You became the man I always wanted to be. Your efforts continue to inspire me. Love -Colin

Altough I never met John, I feel as though I knew him quite well. I taught music with John's grandfather, Gene. Gene was so very proud of John from the day he was born. John was close in age to my sons and I so enjoyed hearing about John as he was growing up. He was a model child. . . a beautiful person, whom I admired very much. Thank you, Gene, for sharing John's story with me over the years. God bless John's family.

I remember the first time I met John. I was thirteen and Dad picked me up from school to take me to the hospital to see my new 1 day old baby brother. He was long and skinny with the softest cry I ever heard and the most amazing gift God ever gave.

I did not know john personally but he was in my math class this past semester at VCU, and we went to the same high school, I saw a news paper laying on a colleague's desk with his picture, and I thought was being recognized for an award of some sort, and I in shock when I picked up the news paper and saw it was the obituaries...I wish I had said a hello the times I saw him in class. I am sorry for your lost and may he rest in peace

To the Bullock Family,
Even though I only met John a few times through his sister, Donise (my cousin), she shared with me how proud she was of John and all of his accomplishments. He was a talented and gifted young man with a heart for God. I am praying for each of you as you mourn your loss. God will comfort you and fill the sorrow you may have in the days to come. Celebrate the wonderful life John lived and rest in knowing the the Lord has assigned a special Angel to watch over you.
Donise, I love you and I am here for you always. You're my sister, cousin, and friend. You and your family are in my heart and my church family are praying for you.

Barbara, Dr. and Mrs. Brown, words seem almost inadequate to express my feelings about our loss of John. He was a wonderful, talented, and academically-gifted young man. It was always a joy to witness the positive impact of his presence on family and friends. Although we mourn, we share with each other the joy and blessings of his presence in our lives.
