John, words can´t express our sorrow that you are gone. You have been a great friend to us! We will miss all of our late night calls talking about nothing important but every thing important to us! We wish we could have made a difference in your life but maybe we were only meant to be your good friend! We will hold all of our memories dear to our hearts. We feel good knowing that you are at peace with your mom, dad and Billy! God Bless you John! We will always love you
