Dearest John, 
I pray that you know how much you were loved while you were here with us. You were always “My Johnny”. Growing up together, you and I were always paired off together when all cousins were together. And I can still remember you and I in Mom-Mom’s kitchen sitting at the “little kids” table when you and I both said we deserved to be at the “big kids” table with the adults. Thanks for being my dance partner in the basement while we showed off our skills to both our moms. I will always treasure our phone calls as we giggled about our silly stories growing up. I will miss you terribly, only to be comforted by the thought that you are now with your dad, Mom-Mom & Dad-Dad, Mommy and Alvin. You had the biggest heart and were such the sweetest man. I know your puppies were happy to have you with them again. Spend your eternity as a happy, healthy strong man. Find your place with the big yard and fill it with all the dogs you want to care for. I pray everything you ever wished for in your life is how it is for you now. You will always hold such a special place in my heart. You will always be ‘my Johnny’. I love you, Dawn

Dear John,
I may have been the oldest cousin but I always thought of you as my big brother.  Your kindness and love for everyone was endless.  I’m comforted knowing your pain is over, but will miss hearing your voice.  I have to believe you were greeted by so many friends and family who went before you and that you are surrounded by love.  Rest easy buddy, and continue to watch over and guide us.   I hope the seat God saved you was right next to the dog park.  With our love, always.
Barbie, Gary, Amanda, and Bishop
