Kindness, friendship, and love are felt in our hearts, and endure endless time and distance. May you and your family feel that love forever.

My Dearest Grandson John,
Tuesday was your 33rd Birthday, and your Mom & Dad had a Mass said for you.

We all went to the Mass to pray and be closser to you, and then went to your Resting place.

We love and miss you very much, I look at your picture every day and I feel your clossness...don't be mad at me for crying every day, I can't help it!
A piece of my heart went with you... and it can never heal...

God has sent us a new little boy through your cousin Jackie, although he is my Great Grandson and his middle name is JOHN, I feel you're with me when I see or hear his little voice. He was almost born on the day you went to Heaven...God sent him to us on July 14,2010, so I guess July 11th will always be a Holy Day for us set aside just for you John!!!

My Special Love just for you, my first Grandchild...Till I meet you again,
Nanny

Dearest Son,

We think of you the minute we wake and dream of you when we sleep. You are always in our thoughts and prayers and always will be. We love you and miss you with all our hearts. Rest peacefully beautiful loving son. Happy Birthday 33rd birthday.

All our love always and forever, Mom, Dad and Jill

John, I have thought of you all month. I remember the last time I saw you at the regatta, you smiled as you walked past me, and laughed with your family all day. It has been a year since you left us. I hope the heavens greeted you, and opened your warm soul and loving heart so you may rest peacefully forever. I know that is what all parents want for their children. To always have peace within. I believe the Lord is by your side and the Blessed Mother holds your hand. Watch over your parents, and your sister. May you enable them to feel your love as always, until you see each other again. Your family has remembered you for your kind and loving heart. Your parents friends remember you for the joy you brought them and how proud they are that you are theirs. Rest peacefully, and know that a year later you are still thought of and loved as always.

Love, Liz

June 16, 2010

John, I wrote this to you on July 12, 2009, at 11:24pm. (Actually to your Facebook account.) You have certainly left a void in our lives. We know you tried very hard to overcome difficult problems. We know you were a good person. We are very proud of you and will miss you very much. You will always be in our thoughts. Rest in peace.

Love Mom & Dad

Barbarino, the short time I knew you proved to me beyond doubt that you were a thoroughly awesome dude. If, by any chance, you read this, I want you to know I'm still doing well, still staying strong, and I pray for you and your family every night before I lay down for bed. You were one of those people that extended their hand to help me in some way through what will hopefully be the last dark time in my life, and you as much as anyone I owe thanks to for me getting my life back. God bless you, bro, there ain't no pain where you are now...

Dear Joy, John and Jill:
Karen spoke with Felicia last night and we were so saddened to hear about John Jr. There is no hurt greater than the loss of a child. We know how much he meant to you and your family and can only hope that the happiness he brought into your lives will help heal your broken hearts. We are so deeply sorry and we will keep you in our prayers. Sincerely, The Kings

Dearest Son,
We love you with all our hearts and cry every day for you. We miss you so much. We don't know how we'll go on without you. We're so sorry we couldn't help you believe you could beat your illness. We know you tried your best. You said you needed to go back to God and he heard your prayers. We will talk to you every day son, listen for us and we will listen for you. You will be forever and ever in our hearts and prayers. You are our angel in heaven. May you rest in peace.
We Love you always and forever.

John,
We miss you tremendously. Our lives will never be the same without you. I will forever miss watching movies with you, bonding with you over music or sports, or watching you get so excited about things that I never understood (i.e. wrestling). Please know that Mom, Dad and I love you with all of our hearts and we will think of you every single day, always and forever. I will try to find some comfort in the fact that we have our very own special angel in Heaven watching over us – I know you will keep us safe and help us be strong through this horrible time. I love you forever John.
Love your sister,
Jill

Dear Joy, John & Jill

Dear Joy & John

I would like to read these Prayers to you, and especialy for John Jr.,The 23th Psalm The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me.Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Joy and John with you I Pray the PROMISE FROM GOD: John 11:25 Jesus told her, " I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, eventhough they die like everyone else,will live again."
Love and Prayers Anthony and Nadine

Dearest Joy & John:

His Journey's Just Begun

Don't think of him as gone away - his journey's 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 and 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.
