Dear John,
Your friendship was a blessing; we considered you not a friend you were family… we will miss you so much!!!
You made me smile when you try to talk in Spanish; always appreciated the way that you talk about my family…I always admire you as a husband, as a father, as a friend.
We were honored to have someone like you in our life.
You were a gift in our lives.
Love you
Nilsa & Andres

John, I will always remember all the special times that we had together. Our last trip to the home place that we had with all of our brothers and sisters was certainly one of those special memories.
Another special time that we had together was when we visited with you and Flor at your home in Florida. I will never forget the good food and the doughnut cake that you made especially for us. You were a special brother and I have so many memories of us growing up together on our farm near Douglas, Ga.
John,although you have left us, your memories will always remain with us. Shirley and myself loved you very much and that love will always remain in our hearts.Love, Frank and Shirley

Daddy,
I miss you so much more than words could express on here. I thank you for making me into the person I am today. I will always love you with all my heart. I wish I could’ve had one more day with you. But We will be together again one day.

I miss you so much! I’ve accomplished so much that you would be so proud of me daddy. At times I think whats the point of doing great, when I don’t have you here to see me do it. But I know in my heart that you’re proud. At first it was hard without you, felt like giving up. But what good would that have done me,everything you worked hard for me. For me to just give up and not care anymore. I love you so much daddy, I would trade everything I have in my life this very moment. To just be able to spend 5 minutes with you.
