John, I'm sadden to hear of your Son's passing. Losing your children is the worst thing that can happen to a parent. I can't even imagine what you've been through . All of my prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. Please let me know if there's ever anything I can do for you. God Bless!

My heart is aching for all of you. Johnny was a good man, a good dad, and a great nephew. I know he is with Dad and they are looking down on us. My love and prayers to all of you.
