I still receive Legacy emails as reminders, but I still think of you often out of the blue. Sometimes I hear a loud laugh and have to turn my head because it reminded me of you.

John John, a year later Some days I think of you and I want to smile
remembering all the good times we had and what a special person you were , other days.. well.. I really rmiss you.

One year ago today was the saddest day of my life. It was the day I buried my son. It was also the culmination of the worst week of my life. This past week has been a week of daily reflection and reliving each day of last year.

Tomorrow marks the begining of a new year. A year full of the promise of lessening grief and sadness. They say that time heals all wounds, but some wounds remain with us forever. Although the intense pain has
lessened, my heart remains full of sadness, and of missing you.

I will go on from here and begin to enjoy my life again. I now am
remembering the fun times, and think of you often. I can still hear
your voice and your laughter, both of which will remain in my heart
forever.

I love you and miss you. We will be reunited in the next life. Until
then you are in my heart forever.

Love, Mom

Sometimes in this busy world it's hard to find the time to just sit and reflect. That's why I rely on the many automatic reminders my computer allows me access to, such as the ones at this site. John, if you were here, I could tell you how many times out of a clear blue sky, a thought of you pops into my mind and brings a smile to my face. Time seems to fly sometimes. I miss you, my friend.

Today marks the first anniversary of your passing from this life to he next. My heart is full of hurt, sadness and of missing you. But my heart will always be filled with love for you now and forever.

This has been a very difficult year, and the world is a much different place without you. My only peace comes from knowing deep in my heart that you are no longer suffering, and are in a better life, a peaceful life.

Today I, along with Bethie, your aunts, uncles and cousins, will visit your earthly resting place. After that we are going to celebrate your life with stories and remembrances of you, hopefully with a little laughter. After all, your laughter will always remain in our hearts.

John, I love you, and will always love you. We will be together again when it is time for me to take that journey to the next life.

I love you and miss you, Mom

Dear John-John,
So many of us have birthdays around this time of year, myself 1/31, Vince 2/3, yours on the 7th...and at least 3 or 4 friends of mine you never got a chance to meet. You are so missed and will always be loved by all your friends...Happy Birthday JJ.

Today would have been your 43rd birthday, if you had chosen to stay here with us.

Although you have gone beyond, you are in my heart and in my thoughts every minute of the day. I can still hear your laughter, and I listen for it every day. I love you and I miss you.

Today I will celebrate your life by remembering the fun times we had together, and by praying that you are in a better place now.

You will be with me in my heart forever.

Love, Mom

Dear John-John's mom,

On behalf of all of John-John's friends on the West Coast I thank you for having this guest book.

For me personally it has been a good place to come visit from time to time and sift through my feelings.

It's been a hard journey for us, but I think we are all healing nicely.

Forever my love to John-John, his family, and friends.
Diane

Your Sister, Beth Eddy

John,
I logged onto your guest book
to print a final copy for myself; but now I want to say something.
I've been sad,angry, depressed and confused. I've been sad and angy for Mom and Dad; But now I mostly just miss you. I prayed to God twice daily that he would take care of you and now I have turned you over. I can smile alot when I think of you because you were the best brother when you were here with me. I cry alot less now because I know you're where you are supposed to be and I feel you're watching over us like some kind of angel. I'll carry your memory around inside my heart forever.
I Love You John,
Beth

Hi John

I have just spent my first Christmas without you, and it was very difficult. I miss you so much and the pain in my heart never goes away. It was strange and lonely not having the phone ring, and hearing your cheerful voice on the phone.

I visited your grave on Christmas Day. Auntie Linn came with me because Beth was working, and Auntie Linn did not want me to go alone. Walter Berger and his family had placed a holly branch with berries at your grave, as well as at Grndma and Grandpa's.

I find it hard to believe that you are gone from this earth, but hope you have found peace and contentment in the next life. I know I will be with you and be able to hold you again sometime in the future.

I love you and miss you, Mom

I'll miss calling you late nites from the pub and letting everyone get to chat with you.I'll miss our long talks,goofing on everything under the sun.But most of all Ill miss that infectious laugh!!! I hope you know how much i valued our friendship.Until we see each other again...save me a seat.Love you and miss you.

Though it was many years since I last saw John John, I thought of him often. I had the pleasure and privilege of living at Vince's Ocean & Howard house with Vince, John John & many others. You will be missed more than you could know - your smile, the way we shared a private joke with a little nudge of our shoulders - a little of you will hopefully shine in all of our hearts and maybe bring us all a little closer. Wait for us JJ and save us a spot on the front steps.

I have known John since I was fourteen. It scares me to think of the person I might have been if he wasn't in my life. He made me laugh and think out of the box! He gave me great fun wild memories. We could go years without seeing one another but pick right up where we left off. I love and miss him very much! John gave his best to everyone, he was unselfish,giving and loving and oh let us not forget his witt!! Thank You John for giving me wonderful memories and making me a better person!! Hope to see you again!

John-John was always nonstop. As messy roommates in San Francisco, traipsing around Europe smoking to our hearts' content(!), doing the Mardi Gras in Sydney, or just slumming around LA, it was GO GO GO! Take a nap? "What are you, an old man? Get up!"

We will all miss you terribly during this time we're apart, John-John. I'm glad you're OK now. Tell Norma we miss her too.

As soon as I met John-John, we became close friends. We shared so much, including our north-eastern roots. He taught me so much, and We shared so many beautiful times in Laurel Canyon, In the East Village, in Silverlake.

I will think of you often and miss you always.

Your big "bear hugs", your sunny smile,your hearty laugh, you getting down on the floor to play with my grandkids, your witty stories about your world travels----these are a few of the memories I hold close to my heart. Embrace and enjoy your new life with The Lord! With much love, Auntie Joyce

John has had a profound effect on my life. For more than 20 years, I've admired his courage, wit, creativity and compassion. When we were at UCSB, or later when we were traveling, I witnessed how John's laughter and personality would naturally draw others to him. My life is richer because I've known him and I will always honor and cherish his friendship.

For over 25 years John kept me laughing, thinking and questioning everything. That laugh bouncing across the room!...you bouncing across the room!!!!!...It's hard to believe I'll only have you in my memory. AND I WILL... for all my days. I miss you and love you and share my happiness of knowing you with all your family and friends.Good bye John.

I met John-John in 1986. he took me in as a friend and became for a time like big bro and always a good friend- the kind that is both brutally honest and supportive. I'll be thankful for the time spent in each other's universes always.

I am very sorry that you have lost John-John. I'm really going to miss him and his absolutely wonderful infectious laugh. I recently spent time with John-John and for that I am thankful. I hadn't seen him in awhile and I was so happy to have some one on one time with him. I want you to know he put a lot of smiles on my face and made me laugh so hard it hurt. He was a great guy to be around.
