Uncle John, I miss our daily talks on the phone, miss your laugh. I am grateful I spent the 3 weeks with you before you ascended to heaven. Thank you for being a father figure after dad passed when I was little. You was and always are so close to my heart than a regular uncle. Summers on jet ski and going to ocean are unforgettable! Thank you for being present-through life and helping me become the woman I am today. I thank you for all the advice on dating and helping me to commit to my soulmate, my husband. You are very special part of my life and I miss you dearly. Papa is still torn up and heartbroken that you left so soon. even though you are in heaven, you are still the apple of Papa`s eye the most important person in his lifetime. Papa loves you so dearly, every day we talk about your childhood and his dearest memories of you throughout the years of his life. I hope that you´re watching us from heaven and see and realize how much we love you and how much we miss you!

You were my best friend. I love you friend. I cannot understand or tell myself that I cannot ever talk to you anymore. Even though we didn´t get to see each other much, we kept in touch during all the years since we first met when I was a newbie at my job. You taught me a lot John. You were always there for me. It makes me so sad to think I will never hear from you again. My heart is broken. You always said you were a God Fearing Son. I will miss our talks, but know that one day I will see you again my friend. Will miss you and love you always.
