I am sorry for the loss of you're son and brother John. When i read the notice i remembered all of you except Pat. I believe we lived on the same block in the city for awhile. 82nd and Paulina. It brought back alot of memories of the old neighborhood. Hope all of you are doing ok. Take care....

Sometimes in Life we do not have all the days we want with each other. But all the times we shared were worth it. John's favorite line to me was: I am the captain of my ship. I loved John for being John. Memories never die but live on.

Life is precious, life is sweet. Life is way too short to try to tell another how to live. When I think about life and those who have loved me UNCONDITIONALLY, I think of my Uncle John. Always a little outside of what others would expect him to be, but always ready to live life to the fullest. I remember a Western Union Dolly Gram he sent me as a child. I remember a card with a kitten and a butterfly. I remember love. I'll never forget that he loved from his heart. I'll never forget that on my 45th birthday, I received Mom's call about his stroke. How I wish I had been given more opportunities to get to know him more and for all three of my children to get to know him. He may not have lived his life to please anyone but I know he pleased God by loving others. May we all learn from that alone.
