I was saddened to read of John's passing away but I know that he is in God's hands, as he has been all of these years. We are all fortunate to have had him touch our lives, and we are the better for the experience. God bless you.

Rickie,David,and Family: Noone knows the words that will help heal your heart at a time like this. John was truly an exceptional child whose gifts were enjoyed by all of those who were touched by him. He was so blessed to be born into such a wonderful family and your family was so blessed to have had him. I am thinking of you in your time of sorrow and hope the happy memories of him live in your hearts forever. Take care of each other now. He would want you to be at peace. From what I have heard about him, he was a perceptive child who was happiest when his family was together and supportive of each other. Thankfully, you all have the ability to heal in a healthy way and will become stronger because of John.

It's hard to know what to say at times like these, so perhaps it's best to say nothing but "We love you and we're thinking of you." The distance may separate us physically, but not emotionally, and especially not spiritually. Our hearts and prayers are with you. We wish we all could live with the simplicity and love that John John did.
