Oh my heart is broken... I remember meeting John in 98 while working at Market Street Grill. He was one of the nicest, most genuine human beings I had ever met. His big eyes and enormous smile found a space in my heart that was never forgotten!!! My prayers go out to John's family! I am so sorry for your loss!!

The loss of one child is heart-wrenching and life-changing enough. I cannot fathom losing four. Barbara, please know that we love you and that our hearts ache for the loss you, Kim, John's father and the rest of the family must feel. Our prayers and our thoughts are with all of you. Know that we weep with you and for you; but also know that we know John is in a better place. Of that I can attest with the faith and conviction borne of experience. We love you.
