Hi Uncle John,
I can't believe you've already been gone for almost 9 years... it still feels like yesterday. I still can hear your contagious laugh sometimes. Even though all this time has passed, it hasn't gotten easier. I know you are having a great time up there and that you watch over us all always. Love you and miss you!

My Sweet Johnny. No words can express the void in our lives. You would be proud of your sweet nieces, Audrey and Kara. Audrey married into a lovely Kimmel family. She is graduating from Dental school. Kara will graduate next year. She is dating a wonderful man, Matt. You would love them both. May you enjoy your peace with the angels of heaven and our Lord Jesus Christ. Love, Rita

Johnny, we all really miss you... even after 8 years, it still doesn't seem real that you are gone. Your birthday is in 3 days, you would be 49--my how the time flies!
I got married in September, and even though you weren't there, I knew you were there in spirit. I know you would have really liked Chris. He is a wonderful man and he would have loved to meet you too. Anyway, we all love and miss you!
Love,
Audrey

My dear brother John,
Another year gone by and I miss you so much. Your death still effects me today. There isn't one day that goes by that I don't think about you during the day. I hope your with our loving parents and relatives and friends. Time passes but we still don't forget your gone. I still remember your laugh and watching you walk those little dogs of yours. We talk to our grandkids about you with so much laughter. Funny thing is my son Jeff has many of your mannerisms. We miss you so much.

Big John # 73 - Hey brother another Christmas has passed without you. I think of you daily and time has not taken away any of the sadness of your leaving us way too soon. My daughter has asked God to bless you every night as she says her prayers out loud. She has been doing so since she was four years old. You were one of a kind and as you look down on us all I hope you know how much you are loved and missed. Sleep well brother, you are the best!

Hey John,
I love you so much! I always wanted to be the man you were. You made me want to be apart of this family. I wish I was up there with you right now, but I have to wait and make the best of the rest of my life. I know I told you I was going to marry Audrey, but I guess I lost that chance. I love you and truely am sorry to lose a friend like you.

John, I can't believe you are gone. We miss you so very much. Since you have been gone you became an Uncle to a baby girl. Her name is Haley Millraney. I can see you laugh out loud. I'm sure you are watching over us all. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you. I send you all my love and hugs to you dear John. I pray you are at peace now and you are with mom and dad. Love, Anna, Joe, and Jeff

Hey Johnnie ....God, I miss talking to you ...It was just about a year ago that we started chatting again , and I truly miss that. You helped me get through some tough times. Your words of encouragement to me while you were having such a hard time yourself meant the world to me and still do. I have to tell ya , being the queen of Odenton now is a hard job to do by myself. But I know the "Mayor" is with me to make sure I am doing a good job!!

Say hello to dad and mom and watch over all of us..

John we all miss you so very much. I go by your grave everyday on my way home from work. There isn't a day that goes by that one of us don't shed a tear. Thank God it is not all of us at one time. We would flood the area. I miss your laugh so much John. Your doggies give us so much joy. I can't believe I much I miss them throughout the day. I want to get home to them at the end of the day. Aunt Louise has them mostly thru the day. They are on her lap and just enjoy sleeping on top of her. Thanksgiving is coming and I know we will be thinking about you and know that each and everyone of us in our hearts will know that you are there with us in spirit. God bless you my brother!! Rest in peace my sweet..

Hello Jah: I dread the holidays knowing that you will not call me to tell me how great Gena's crab and shrimp dinner was. You told me how you spent the night with them and how much fun you had with the McCrays. I am so Happy Jah that you spent your last Easter with the McCray's. I remember when you called me to tell me that you went with sweet Audrey and Karina to get a hair cut. I didn't think that I would miss you because I was so far from where you lived, but i was your second mother until you were my ring boy at our wedding. Enjoy heaven. My best to our parents. Love rita.

Hey Jah,
I really miss you, and these past few days have been difficult because I just can't stop thinking about you. I had a good dream about you the other night, and when I woke up, I remembered all of the good times that our family shared with you. We babysat Oscar and Felix yesterday, and Dori loved having the "fresh meat" in the house. No, she wasn't that bad... She actually calmed down a lot since you saw her last, and she treats your dogs a lot better now. It still feels like everytime I see them, that you won't be too far behind them to come in through the door. I love you and miss you very much.

My memory of John was from afar. His excitement for football was matched by his excitement for wrestling. He always seemed to turn the moment to laughter...that will forever burn bright in my memory. Despite the downsides, John had the largness of heart that touched so many people. I will miss that terribly about him. He is gone, but NEVER forgotten.

Hey FA, my heart is broken and is so heavy. I have your picture next to me and speak to you everyday. I miss you so very much. You were a whirlwind here on earth. When momma brought you home I could only remember saying "he is so ugly" (haha), but you turned out to be so handsome. I can honestly say you were a very strong and decent Man. I know what an impact you were in your family's life, but at your funeral your friends gave you such a send off. What a measure of your life to see all those people who adored you. People came over to tell us of the many kind things that you did for them. Just to let you know that Oscar and Felix are well taken care of by the golden girls. We have all three been smitten with them. But still they miss you and you can tell that they sense your absence. John, I will always have you in my heart. Please watch over us. Also you said you would watch over us with Momma and Daddy, please give them our love. Don't forget our lottery numbers we're waiting..
I love you so much. Your adoring sister Frances.

Dear John, I will miss you very much. Felix and Ocar miss you too. But rest assured they are being cared for living with Frances and I. I remembered how you loved my meat loaf and chicken cutles. We would fix you a care package to take home and it often didn't make it. Now when I fix both I will remember you always. You were a wonderful nephew. I will miss you very very much. Aunt Louise

Dear John, I remember when we brought you home when you were a baby. You were so cute. You where always full of spit and vingar. You where full of life. I know you loved your dogs so much. They miss you very much. Jeff enjoyed the week he spent with you. He was so very happy to cook you a meal. He enjoyed your company so much. I want you to know I was very happy to have you as a brother. I hope you are with mom and dad and looking over your family and friends.

Hello John: This is heaven and I missed you so much. I want to take you to see your Father. We have been waiting for you with much love. You will enjoy heaven. Heaven is all they say it is and better. Please do not ask our Lord why food tastes so good. I already asked the Lord and He told me that it is because He designed it that way so man can enjoy earthly goods. Jah, The Lord commented on how kind you were to give your organs to the people who needed them on earth. Well lets go everybody we love and knew on earth is ready to meet you. Love Mom

Dear John,
You are not gone. You are still alive in those you left behind. When I gaze upon your brothers and sisters and particularly your nephews, I see your facial features, I notice your mannerisms, and I hear your voice. They will bear your legacy in a real way until the day you tackle them again in that big football field in the sky. Thanks for being a great brother-in-law, a wonderful uncle, and most of all a cherished friend.

Dearest John,
I cannot tell you how much I loved you for the man you were. You had the kindest and most giving heart. You would do anything for anyone and never asked for anything in return. Your honesty was absolute but you tempered it with genuine love because you wanted to help and the only way to do that was by being honest.
You loved my daughter in a way that few women are loved in their lifetimes and I thank you for allowing her to experience such unconditional love and devotion. Please know how dearly she loves you and how deeply she misses your physical presence; allow your spirit to remain close to her so that you can continue to advise and guide her.
My one consolation in your loss is that you are relieved of the fear and pain that you suffered during these last months. I want you to be at peace in the arms of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Please pray for all of the family and friends that you left here on earth. Watch over us and guide us so that we may lead lives that will earn us a place in Heaven with you someday.
I love you, John Fitzgerald Kennedy Aiello. Rest in peace.

A Poem from John to all who loved him.
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me and I'm not there to see. If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me. I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today, and each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand and said my place was ready, in heaven far above and that I'd have to leave behind, all those I dearly Love. But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, For all my life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for, so much yet to do, It seemed almost impossible, that I was to leave all of you. I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad. I thought of all the love we shared, and the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while, I'd say goodbye and kiss you all and maybe see you smile. But then I full realized, that this could never be, for emptiness and memories, would now take the place of me. So, when tommorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart for every time you think of me, In'm right here, in your heart. Love John Aiello. Milton and Gina - Words can not express how much you helped me through the difficulties of life. I will pray for you as well as for all my family and friends. I am so relieved of all my pain and suffering. I love being with the Lord, so be at peace. We will meet again.

God took mercy on me and blessed me by bringing the most giving, compassionate, loving, tender, and beautiful best friend into my life.
John, although our time together was too short, far too short, and the pain I now endure so great, I feel that I am the most fortunate woman in the world. I am Mrs. John Aiello. Words cannot express what you mean to me, time will never erase my love for you, nor will it fade the beautiful memories of our life together. I am filled with unyielding devotion and gratitude for all that you shared with me. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
My love, I miss you dearly, and wait in joyful hope to see you, to walk with you, to be with you, to gaze into your beautiful hazel eyes, up there where the Angels sing His praises for eternity.
May God bless and keep you, and may you rest in peace until we're together again. :-)
Your loving and adoring wife,
Mira
