John-
I can't believe that ten years have almost passed by since the accident. It says something about how great you were that, even now after so much time has passed, you are still thought of dearly and missed by me and many others. U were such a genuine and kind hearted person. Thank you for being a great freind. I remember that conversation we had a fews weeks before you left, you taught me a great lesson in life: to always remember those who have been friends in the past. I won't forget you and hope that even though I can't physically say hi to u today, you are in my heart as you were the day u left, and as that boy I met the cafeteria in 6th grade who was always up for some adventure.

You were a great person, a great friend, and had the most amazing smile that I have ever seen, and I know that is the first thing I want to see when I get to Heaven LOVE YOU!!!

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousands winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

Hi. I don't know Johnny, but I got his name from my friend Amy Whitmore's Guest Book I think it was Mrs. Czupkowski who signed Amy's Guest Book. Mrs. & Mr. Czupkowski, I'm so sorry about your loss. There are no words to say but I'm sorry and I know that's not enough. You just have to think that God needed him more in Heaven. It hurts me so when the young passes away. It must be true what they say, that only the good die young. Johnny is in a good place being taken care of plus I hope that he met Amy. I'm sure he did because she's the most amazing, sweetest person also can't forget is the most beautiful Angel in Heaven. So to your Son, Brother, Grandchild, Cousin, Friend, Johnny is sending signs to all of you in his little ways. I just want to say that I'm sorry again about your loss and it was so nice of you and thank you for writing in Amy's Guest Book. My prayers are with you and God Bless you.

It has been two years. I can't believe it. I just wanted to wish you a Happy 21st Birthday. This is the best age of your life and I can't believe you weren't here to see it but I am sure that you are celebrating in heaven. I hope you know that someone misses you so much. You were the best and dearest friend he ever had. You were just like him and accepted him for everything he is. He can't seem to find another friend like you, and that is why forever he will miss you. Sometimes I can see your face when he smiles. You had the brightest and biggest smile I have ever known and I wish I could see it just one last time.
You are always in my heart.

Happy 20th Birthday Baby~
I think about you every day and I pray for you every night. A year later and I still can't beleive that your gone. I keep thinking that Ely is going to call me and tell me that you just got back from vacation and you guys are going riding, but i guess it's because I was gone for so long and came back when it was too late. I should have came back when you told me to,but I was to stupid. You were always there with a big bright smile. I learned alot from you, especially "never go to bed mad at anyone you care about, b/c they might not be there when you wake up and you'll never get to tell them how much you love them and they mean to you. Well sweetie I have to go Amber is getting into everything. I'll come visit you tonight. Keep your head up Boo it can't get any worse it can only get better. I'll be w/ you again someday.
Love Always,

I can not believe that it has already been a year since you have been gone. It seems like yesterday, you were hear making everyone smile, making everyone laugh. I miss you so much. I know that we did not talk much before you passed away, but I hold all our memories close to my heart everyday. I think about you everyday, and miss you more and more. You were my first true love, my first boyfriend. I look back at all the things we went through and smile. Sometimes I find myself crying wishing we did things differently. But you can not look back with regrets. I have our memories, and I know you are smiling down on everyone. Each and every persons lives that you touched in your own special way and that is what comforts me. I pray for you every night, praying that they are treating you right up there. Just know that you are deeply missed by everyone...you will never be forgotten.

johnny, it's been a year, and my life will never be the same. i miss you, and your smile. this card was given to me, and i would like everone to read it.
SAFELY HOME
I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one dout or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For i lve you dearly still:
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth-
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
there i not a day that goes by that i don't miss my big, little brother.
i know that He is safe, and one day i will be with Him. he will show me the rope's to my eternal with Him.
Johnny, I will always love you.
Love,
your little, big sister,
karen

Johnny,
God, I miss that great big smile you always had on your face. You always knew what to do to make happy when I was sad. You always knew the right things to say. You always have been my bestfriend and you always will, because we'll be back together again. I have your graduation picture on my talbe in my room and I was thinking about how much I missed you. Then my daughter walked in and asked why I was crying and I told her that I missed A very special person. She told me not to cry because god put you in the hands of an angel and he will always let you watch over everyone that is special to you.
I won't ever forget you. you'll still always be my bestfriend. He might have taken you a way for a good reason or maybe a accident but, he can never take all the memories away. Apicture says a million words and so does you smile all I have to do is close my eyes and your there.
Happy Birthday I'll see ya on the 23rd.
Love you sweetie,

To Johnny - I remember you as a
little boy, I never had the chance
to know you as the special young
adult you had become. But, having
those memories, I was able to share
in your family's grief and pain, as
well as in the beautiful services
they had given you. I visit you
often, and find myself always
asking "why". I don't have the
answers now, nor will I ever. But,
you have sparked something in me
that will last a lifetime. I think
of you and your family every day
and wish that I could take that day
away. I wish they would be able to
wake up and realize it was just a
horrible dream. But, I don't have
the power to do that. I only have
the power to continue on and remain
greatful to be able to see how much
you are and will always be loved
and admired by all.

you and even tried a little more .
You handled everything with a smile
and your energetic glow. You will
never be forgotten. I will always

by best to understand that this
terrible thing had to happen and had
to hit so close to home. I hope you

made you laugh when we meet again.

Who else would come up 2 Boston,
goin on like a half hour sleep,
with no doe, a little ass duffle
bag of clothes, and stay for like a
week and a half in a cramped dorm
room. I'll never forget the time
you put Mason's shirt over his head
hockey style, and boofed his head
between the floor and your knee. I
miss you kid, copin aint easy, but
i bein managin, writin a few lines
to get things off my chest.
Anyways, I know you in a better
place now, jus do me one favor,

I get there.

John and I were good friends at a
time and he was always at my house
with me and my family. A while
before he died, John and I got into
a little fight and after that night
I never really spoke to him much.
He apologized after to me, but I
was too stubborn to accept it.
Whenever I saw him, we'd always
greet, but not like we used to. If
I knew then that this terrible
accident was going to claim his
life, I would of forgotten about
the whole thing and we would've
have more memories than we did. I
never expected that his life would
be taken so soon. I had plenty of
time to talk to him about this and
I never did. I have to live knowing
that I never got a chance to tell
him that we fought about something
stupid or tell him how grateful I
am for all the things he did for
me. But, we can't turn back time. I
know now that John is in a place
where he doesn't have to worry
about pain or apologies. This has
taught me a great life lesson.
Before you ruin a relationship over
something small, think of how you
would feel if something like this
happened to you. Life is too short
to stay mad at someone. You don't
want to be one of those people who
realizes what you have once its
gone. I know I never will be again.
P.S. John, I'm sorry.

great big smile, happiness, and a
whole lotta laughter. Many would do
anything to bring you back(since we
cant)...i guarantee you we'll all
meet again one day- we are all
headed there whether its today or
tomorrow or many, many years from
now whether we like or not. Until
then - keep smiling...
I'll never forget all the times we
spent...the memories made to last

Don't think of him as gone away-
his journeys just begun,
life holds so many facets-
this earth is only one...
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days or years.
Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost-
and he was loved so much.
To express sincere sympathy in
your sorrow.
John you will be forever in our
hearts.
with all our love,

taken so soon. John had his whole

enough time to enjoy it the fullest
