Farewell my awesome big brother. The brother’s trips we all took loom so very large now that you are gone. Our fishing times were fantastic and you were there when I caught my biggest fish. You always had a joke to make us laugh and through all this you never lost your joy. I will see you again in a perfect body free of pain and suffering. Until then I will remember the time we shared. I Love you!
What a wonderful person John was. Always so much fun but also serious when he needed to be. We are all lucky to have known him as a friend. I talked with John last week, he talked to me about his wake and funeral. He took my hand and looked at me. He told me that when he made it to heaven he was going to tell the Lord to save a place at his heavenly table for me and for all of his friends. I was so touched that even as he faced his own mortality he was thinking of everyone else. But that’s John.
So sorry to hear about John. Wishing you peace, comfort, courage, and lots of love at this time of sorrow.
Gonna miss you brother, only a lot! Thank you for all the love.
Your Brother from another Mother
John

I only knew John for a little over 2 years, but what an impact he had on my life! He was the funniest guy around, and yet, also, the kindest! He loved the Lord, and I know he is with Him and they are up there telling corny jokes! What a perfect friend. Helen, I cannot know your sadness, I can only offer my prayers for you and your family. Everyone, and I mean Everyone who ever met him, including his health care team, will miss him dearly, and Yes, Only a Lot!

I’ve known you since I was 5, not knowing at that time that you would become my brother-in-law. I loved our talks about heaven, our faith, family and precious memories of times past. You warmed my heart in all of those precious conversations. I love you more than you ever knew. Be waiting for us, dear brother. We’ll see you in heaven. Jill
