To Jayne and Family,

I am so sorry to learn of John's passing. A big brother never had a more loyal or devoted little sister. I remember well how close you two were and how fiercely proud and protective you were of each other's accomplishments. May you find comfort in knowing that John touched many lives and his valiant determination to live beyond his physical challenges will continue to inspire others.

With deepest sympathy and friendship.

I was so sad to hear of John's passing. My father, Robert Sine, adored him greatly and I'm sure that he has greeted him in heaven and they are happily entertaining the angels with sweet music.
