Wishing you love and comfort knowing John is at peace now, up in heaven with God. There are definitely lots of memories of John you can laugh at, cry about, and even raise an eyebrow about, but every shared moment with him created the great relationship you had with him. He could not have received more love and comfort that you both provided for him during his last days.
