I was so sorry to hear that John passed away. I have such fond memories of him. He was my high school sweetheart (for almost 3 years) and his friendship and love have meant alot to me throughout the years. Every time I hear the theme song to Rocky or see the movie, it brings up wonderful memories. He was my date for my 10th high school reunion. We had a wonderful time. I was sad that I had to move away and that we kind of lost touch. I am sorry that I could not attend his service. I didn't receive the e-mail about it until the day of the service and I live in Sioux City. I just wanted to let you know what a special person he was to me. His memory will always remain in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I cannot imagine John being gone from our lives. I always told people he was my older brother. When I became housebound and disabled, he still came to see me and let me know he cared. He was a sweet man and I am a better person for having known him and having the gift of his friendship. He will be missed by many.
Sincerely,
The Girl Who Can't Stop Crying
