My Heart goes out to all of you. I know that there is nothing I can say or do to ease the pain of losing John. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. We will miss John. Missing someone is painful, but also good because it keeps them (their memory) with you and alive.

My love to all of you, Janine
