Not a day goes by where I don't miss you. You were one of the best friends I could have asked for. You loved your family in a super special way and never said anything but loving things about them. We texted every night for hours. Both of us with crazy insomnia. Sometimes when I get a late message I get a tear in my eye forgetting my for a split second it can't be you. Wish you could have met my daughter she would have loved you so much.

With a face full of tears in my eyes - until we meet again.

Riding down the roads listening ta "Ripple", "Light my Fire", "Break on threw" laughing n having a good time. Celebrating St.Patty's Day n getting so tore up that we didn't know how we were getting home or what bar was next...lol..., or hanging with the fam on Easter watching the kids hunt eggs or hanging at moms drinking beers hanging with Jose' all night n waking up with a golf ball on your head wondering wtf happened last night? Lmao. For each n every molment I get teary eyed or a sudden feel of being lost without my best friend/big brother I try my best to replace them with the good times we have spent. Nnnnnnn booooy I coulda wrote a book that woulda sold out with the crazy memories we've had through out our entire lives. So know one thing bro.. Our memories are n will never be done like I have always said to u.... To be continued! Love you bro RIP N c u on the other side! Bless! BFF/B4L<3xoxo<3

12/17/2013 -lst Anniversary in Heaven my sweet son -
Truly missed terribly -I love you so much - my heart is torn and aches -
RIP - Forever your MOM xoxo

Way too many fond memories to list - way too many times you came thru my phone with a "just because" - way too many times you would sneak up behind me at Marleys and get me every time - and way too many times in this past year have you crossed my mind, made me cry, given me strength, and remind me that you're never too far away just as you told me that day during Hurricane Sandy! Always as you were will you remain in my mind and heart - that goofy grin and the hat to the side that you would spin right before putting me in THAT bear hug! Sweetly Sleep JAF - sweetly sleep! xoxox

John, you touched so many lives on your short time on earth. I remember you as a youngster with your infectious smile that always got me grinning too. Young, fun-loving and affectionate is how you'll be remembered. You left too soon, but live on in the hearts of those who loved you, those whose lives were shattered by your leaving, and those left to cope with the emptiness that remains. You now live in Glory and we all shall meet again one day. Until then, we hold you close in our hearts, memories fresh in our minds, your name a loving whisper on our lips. Rest easy, beautiful boy, and know that you are loved and missed by all who knew you.

I never had the privilege of meeting John, but I feel like I know him from all of the loving stories his mom has shared. He was dedicated to his family & friends and had a zest for life and contagious smile. His memory lives on in the hearts of many. Merry Christmas to John in heaven, and much love to all who miss him dearly.
