It's been so so long ago since I've seen your smiling face and how you chuckled.. Jr, high was so long ago, you were always smiling, always. You and I together in class was not good for any of the teachers for sure, we were the class clowns for sure. I'm so sorry your gone my friend, I was told today of your passing. Want you to know you are a fond memory of such innocent times. I hope your still smiling and laughing up there. Until we meet again John.

My dear boy John,
I just read of your passing the day before yesterday and I was hurt beyond belief. I have so many good memories of you. I never heard you utter a curse word or a negative remark about anything in all of the years I knew you. You were one in a million, dear. Never have I met a more tender, loving innocent soul in my life such as you. You followed me around the yard with that dang guitar, singing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" to me while I watered the flowers. You blessed me every time I saw you. You prayed with me and took some of the hurt away when I was feeling bad - you held my hands and told me that if you could take my pain from me and carry it yourself, you would. I shall miss seeing you flying down the street on your bike, asking me if you looked like a kid just after you shaved, and your famous line - "That's funny, huh?" I don't know what happened - how you passed - but I need to know that you did not suffer - you were such a gentle man. I will miss you - there is no other like you - our loss is Heaven's gain - you pleased the Lord in life and I know he is happy to have you amongst his "house guests". Rest well and know that I will always remember you and love you.##imported-begin##Kat Martin##imported-end##
