John has touched many lives including mine. He will always hold a special place in my heart. I will miss having him come visit me & of course scaring me half to death. I will miss that most of all. My family has shared many fun times together with John. I will always cherish the great memories he has given me & my family. Remember he will always be with us in memory. I have read a poem that said "when you are walking along and thinking of your loved one, remember he is walking right along with you one step behind".
You all are in our thoughts & prayers.
With all our love

You taught me to love life,
And to see things thru.
But this is one of the hardest things,
I will ever do.
You Released my hand,
But will stay in my heart.
My LOVE for you,
Will never part.
I know you're still here,
Standing next to me.
Your warmth I feel all around me,
It's just your face I can not see.
We've had so many good times,
At times endured pain,
We've lived in the sunshine
And walked in the rain
Your memory is my keepsake
with which I’ll never part
God has you in His keeping
I have you in my heart
For now we're separated
And for a time apart,
But I am not alone-
You're forever in my heart.
I love you so much John
