the smile and the sense of humor, that was John. even on a bad day, John could make you laugh. so at a time when we cry over the loss of John. remember to smile or laugh, because even in death John would have found a sarcastic funny moment.

:''''( Grandpa i will miss you dearly! YOU ARE MY GUARDIAN ANGEL! My memories will never be lost of you, they will stay IN my heart at all times. God saw you geting tired and i guess a cure was not to be, so he whispered come with me. with tearful eyes we watched you pass away.( But you did not leave alone! for part of us went with you the day god called you home.) ( Hard working hands to rest) I remember the day you said you wanted me to have the life that you always wanted, you gave me a coin and said it was your lucky coin. You told me to always keep it in my pocket because sometimes life can get hard! Ane you were right, this is the hardest part of my life right now. I CANT LET YOU GO! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH PAPA! R.I.P
