He was my best friend in the world And no one will ever take his place. We talked the morning before he died and its seems unfair to have him taken away from all of us so fast. I'll never forget him.

I forgot to add that I am a cousin of John Paul Sr.  You are in my prayers.
Louise McLauchlin Boege (cousin)

The very day I met J Paul was a special day. I was with a loved one that I lost exactly two months ago. My Dad. He got to meet J Paul and was fortunate enough to talk to him. We could tell he was extraordinary and even discussed him after meeting him. We even talked about his non-stop smile which brightened our day. There are no words that can comfort and I know this. J Paul made his footprint in people's heart and it was huge. Take comfort in knowing he doesn't have to suffer on this earth like the rest of us do, anymore. My heart is with the family.

Nicky, Bill, Marveen, and family,
my heart just breaks for you to lose John Paul so young!  You have my thoughts and prayers!   
Love in Christ, Rhonda (Stratton) Nash-Hall

I taught reading to John Paul in 8th grade.  He participated in many discussions in my class; he was ready and excited about high school.  I will miss seeing him at Cedar Grove Middle School.  I pray his family will heal.
