I cant believe you are gone. I bet you are telling the best stories in heaven right now. You were always there giving me words of encouragement and it seems like just yesterday you were leaving me little notes in between work papers just to say Hi... I was very lucky to have known you. I wish you the best in your next journey and I know you are in a better place.

Losing someone that we love never comes easy. It is truly heartbreaking. May God's promises in Isaiah 65:17 comfort and help you.

I am so saddened to hear of John's passing. He and I graduated from KMA together and we went to proms together. Although he had a quiet demeanor, his sense of humor was immeasurable. God Bless you, John. RIP
