From peanut butter & raspberry jam sandwiches, to childhood diseases, to sharing classrooms, enjoying the same friends, to first dates, marriages, children and grandkids......thanks John for the lifetime of memories. You have left us too soon. Your strength throughout these past months was remarkable but not surprising. We have lost a brother (in-law) and friend. Cathy, Julia, Tanya & Mike, Russ & Dee, Tamarra, Victoria and Taylor, our thoughts are a continuous stream to you all. Thank you for making John a happy man.

I long for that one more day, one more word, one more hug,one more kiss. I may not understand why you left so soon, or why you left before I was ready to say good-bye, but day by day,I begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave me memories too beautiful to forget. Love you John
