John was my favorite cousin! Some people are one of a kind and he fit the script. I checked on him often even when he was faking it saying he felt really good. I'm glad we did talk, shared conversation often and on one occasion even lunch. I loved him very much and we talked about him getting a new heart! Now he has one with God. I will truly miss my cousin but to release our earthly hold is to be with our Heavenly Father. You will always be in my heart.
