I miss you greatly my best friend. Just to note, you would be so proud of StepChu, Merissa, Bryan and Jen. I can see you in each one of them: your laughter, goofy corny jokes, and how you taught each one to be true to God and self. Not a day goes by when I reflect and remember you, my best friend. One day, see you in heaven. We will have so much to talk about and praise God together, my sweetheart.
I miss you very much, especially your smile. Life has not been the same but I know you are here with us spiritually. Bryan, Jay, Jenny and Steven are amazing and I know you are proud of them. Until we all see you again, we love you forever. I love you forever .
Just me
You know how much I miss you. Sure do miss texting with you. We should have gone to Applebee's for your birthday. I miss all the things we did together...even spending the night looking for pork and sauerkraut! Love you bunches.
I hope you can hear me. Today was rough. Steve, Jenny, and Bryan are so wonderful and you would be so proud of them. I know you are. Every day, we think of you. I miss your sense of humor and encouragement. You gave much to this world, to your patients but most of all to your family. At times, I can hear you and can sense your laughter. I miss looking into your beautiful blue eyes. Every day is a treasure. Life is different without you next to us but I know you want us to continue as you are in our hearts. We love you.
Love,
Joanne
A year has gone by. You are my best friend. I miss you forever. I love you.
Happy Birthday in Heaven.
Love,
Joanne O
Today is your birthday and with each passing day, I miss you more and more. When the phone rings, It is not you. How I wish you had more time on earth but I realize that this is selfish of me. You are not in pain anymore and seeing Jesus. You are happy and that is what matters. One day I will see you again. You are so beautiful and always were. The song with the Angel keeps playing in my head. I love you forever.
We married and had a beautiful son named Stephen Russell, but then we grew apart. I knew I would never find anyone with your amazing sense of humor. It is painful to think about how much I missed it, although you were always willing to respond when I needed assistance. I remember calling in a panic when Stephen suddenly became deaf. You told me it couldn’t possibly be serious and tested his hearing to find his Eustachian tubes filled with fluid. It was one of the coldest days of the year and you brought him to your house. Stephen was sitting in front of the TV, sound turned to the loudest when you accidentally locked yourself out. You pounded on the windows and door hoping he would hear. You ended up climbing a ladder to the third floor where you entered through an unlocked window to prevent yourself from freezing to death. You called to tell me that, indeed, Stephen’s hearing was profoundly affected, but the Ampicillin he was prescribed would wipe out the problem in a few days. On the other hand, you were not sure your fingers and toes would ever thaw out!
There are countless stories I could relay that display your unique sense of humor and unbounded kindness. Your love for others is compelling. I remember you saying:
For when the One Great Scorer comes
To write against your name,
He marks-not that you won or lost-
But how you played the game.
I’m sure the One Great Scorer will be delighted to add you to his fold. But for those of us who are left here, there is no one who can fill your shoes, John, and there never will be.
This is so hard to write as my heart is breaking. You were my best friend and always will be. The time spent with you will always be cherished. You were a wonderful father to Steven, Jen, and Bryan. You inspired your friends, patients, and family. We will miss your witty sense of humor, warm heart, gentle manner, and precious smile that lit the room. You will be forever in our hearts. I will always remember the week before your passing at breakfast with Wawa coffee, and other meals with our talks about how much you love your children, the Hershey boys, and all of the fond memories of the past and looking forward to watching the Philadelphia Phillies and sport channels. However, God had other plans and you are watching from heaven. Thank you for the honor of knowing you in a unique way and creating memories to last a life time. You will always be treasured in my heart. Till we meet again. I love you forever.
