Dear Tracy, John Jr., and Will,
I was so deeply saddened to hear that John had passed. Even though I met him (and all of you) just that one time, John has always been in my thoughts. For me, John gave ALS a face and it showed me what a cruel disease it really is. I feel so lucky to have had the chance to meet all of you. Even though we don't know each other very well, I will carry John's memory with me always. Tracy, you are the strongest person I have ever met. May you all somehow find peace.
In friendship and deep sympathy.
Jennifer Cohen and family

My husband never had an opportunity to meet John and I had not seen him since we were children. I knew of his illness from my brother, Bill McClung, but our families have been many miles and years apart. My deepest condolences to Tracy and her children and to my Aunt, Uncle and cousins. The strength gained from sharing life with a loved one so determined to keep going is a marvelous gift. May John be as inspiring in this next life as he was to many in the previous one.

I was fortunate enough to attend the very uplifting service for John on Tuesday, Feb 20. John was the bravest guy I've known and I'm aware of the remarkable support that Tracy and the boys provided. John and I always seemed to hit it off, partly because we had the Hill School in common, and partly because he was such a great guy. It was moving to attend the service and see the strength of support from family and hundreds of friends.

Dear Tracy, John Jr., Will, and Family,
We are so sorry to hear of John's passing, but at the same time we rejoice that John is finally at peace and not suffering any more. We prayed for him and you daily, and will continue to keep you in our prayers. Unfortunately, we did not receive the news in time to attend the memorial service, but our thoughts and prayers are with you. We miss all of our St. Paul family and it is at times like these that we feel the tug of distance. We will be down for Easter services and will hopefully be able to share hugs with you then.
With love,
Darci, Bob, Andy, Kelli, and Marc Nelson
