The service today was a beautiful expression of a life well lived and loved by so many. I will be praying that in the days ahead as you reflect on the gift of his life with you, you will sense God's presence, and may His peace that surpasses all understanding guard your hearts, and mind in a supernatual way.
Johnny will be greatly missed in our family, and by all the life's he touched with his kindness and his cheerful smile. He was always so good to our mami, and for that I will always be greatful.
The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
The Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.

What great sadness overcame me to hear about the loss of our cousin, Johnny. I have nothing but great memories of him, his kindness, compassion, and his love for our family. He always managed to bring a smile to everyone's face, regardless of the circumstances. His tenacity was inspiring, unlike anything I'd ever seen before. Truly, the world was a better place because he was here.
