The days will not be the same... not seeing John coming down the street either on his bike or on foot, to come over and visit with his brother Mike, being sure to always have the USA TODAY paper and donuts or a hot chocolate in hand.



Whenever we'll be in the park we will always think about John being there in his CUBS jacket to watch his nieces' play or his brother coach softball, he loved watching everyone play.



With each day the pain will lessen but never will it go away, I only hope that John is eternally happy and looking down knowing how truly loved he is and always will be...
