On week has passed
ill never forget the day
someone rang to tell me
that you'd gone away
The hurt is the same
like a open wound
there are days
i don't utter a sound
Some days the pain is stronger
makes me sick and weak
i can't stand this much longer
i just sit here and weap
love shut my private door
and let no one in
locking my self in a box
they try but i won't give in
you were like a rock
strong,faithful and true
what worth has my life
now i don't have you
i was your first daughter(fack )
Daddy's little girl
i took my own path
But was still part of your world
I was not the best
guilty of neglect
but you know daddy dearest
i had much respect
I always loved you
my dad,my star
now my pain is
to worship you from afar
I love you now
as i always did back then
i just hope....one day
i will see you again
I am so proud of you
brave and strong to the end
now when asked"how are you?"
there is no need to pretend
we all love you and miss you much
sleep well
and take care of all that went before you
forever my heart
your daughter

I have known John for 20 + years. John and Tammy were both very good friends to me and my family for all this time. For many years now we only saw each other on occasion but everytime it was like were saw each other daily. John was a kind, and loving person with a heart big enough for everyone who came across his path. I just saw John a few months ago and he told me of the stress he had been dealing with but assured me it was all going to be fine. We talked about how God worked in mysterious ways and how God is always in control if we put our trust in Him He would work it out. I think we talked for an hour in the parking lot of walmart. I am very sad at the loss of my dear friend and wish more than anything I could be there to say so long for now until I see him the next time but this time it will be in glory. I send my prayers and love to each of the kids and the family members who are missing him right now. I will love and miss you forever John.
