It does not seem like 9 years but it reminds me of how time passes and how for those that have been reconciled to God how much closer we are to being reunited.

My brother I will miss you! The 50 years as friends were not nearly enough. I so wanted to spend our retired years together remembering all the great times we had. We could have talked for another 50 years. I know if you are picking up teams for a game you will leave a space open for me. Until we meet again....Love Mike

I express my sincere condolences to all John's family and friends, especially Nancy and the children. I will miss him this side of heaven as many will. I am honored to have had an opportunity to spend just a little time together at the reunion and will cherish the candid pictures of him with his Aunt Marlene and cousins John Jaz & John Raimo. But, even more important and lasting for me will be that he knows Jesus and we will celebrate his life while we grieve together knowing he is in heaven and that Jesus has prepared a place for him. Jesus will also prepare a place for us if we accept him as our Lord and Savior allowing us to reunite someday.
