Love you,
Dad
Been thinking a lot about you and your sister a lot lately...wrote her the same, but people just don't seem to get it....
Hope you're ok...
Love,
Dad
I wrote the same top Lauren...
Seems like unlikely words to be wishing you a wonderful time...but somehow even if you're not physically here you are here!
So:
I woke up and walked a million miles today
I've been looking up and down for you
All this time, it still feels just like yesterday
That I walked a million miles with you
Over it
Think I'm getting over it
However, there's no getting over it
There are times when I need someone
There are times I feel like no one
Sometimes I just don't know what to do
There are days I can't remember
Some days last forever
Someday I'll come out from under you
However, I'll never come out from under you
They don’t call it the most wonderful time of the year for nothing. Yes, it will always be bittersweet after your death. And unquestionably the suffering in the world in this moment is something we can’t forget. But death and love, incredibly, live side by side, each with the ability to deepen the other. ❤️
Dad
P.S. Feels like rain...
Just a loveable reminder of what would have been...
AML,
Dad
We all miss you...
Love you, I am not ever going to get over you...
Dad ❤
Sunny days seem to hurt the most, I wear the pain like a heavy coat
The only thing that gives me hope, I know I'll see you again someday...
Just a little note that sometimes I wonder who you'd be today...
Love you,
Dad
Wanted to say hello to you and let you know that I miss our time together. Your sister Ally, niece Cora and Tommy are visiting.
Just one more moment...

Love,
Dad
Days turn to minutes and minutes to memories, life swept away the dreams we had planned...
❤
I love and miss you...and your sister Lauren!
Dad
Your sister Ally came to visit, I was so glad to see her, Cora & Tommy!
I miss you,
Love,
Dad
Thinking of you, Lauren, Nick, and so many others!
Love and miss you! ❄
Dad
I sure wish I could see you today, but you and Lauren live in my heart constantly, and of course, I am at your Gigi's house, Wanda, Tony, and all the gang are here, just wanted you to know that I love you, and the memories of our time flood my mind. I remember the time you walked thru the front plate glass window and have to have 13 stitches in your head, you never cried, what a Champion you are to me, much love son!
Always in my ❤,
Dad
There's a whole other conversation going on
In a parallel universe
Where nothing breaks and nothing hurts
There's a waltz playing frozen in time
Blades of grass on tiny bare feet
I look at you and you're looking at me
Could you beam me up,
Give me a minute, I don't know what I'd say in it
Probably just stare, happy just to be there holding your face
Beam me up,
Let me be lighter, I'm tired of being a fighter, I think,
A minute's enough,
Just beam me up.
✨
Hope you Lauren and Nick are well, enjoy Laurens's birthday and watch over all of us! Missing you all, with love!
Dad
Today is your birthday and I give you all my love. I wish you a happy birthday today, where you are having a better life, and I am very excited because you still make my heart vibrate with joy every time I think of you....
Love,
Dad

Sometimes I wonder If you're up there
In the clouds
When it rains, and the skies are gray
Is that you crying?
Up there somewhere in the clouds
How I hate.... sunny days, nothing but empty blue skies
So I pray, oh how I pray
For clouds
Taking shape I swear sometimes
I can almost see your face, somewhere up there
In the clouds
Sometimes...on a plane
I feel like I'm with you
Just hanging out
Somewhere, up there
In the clouds, rollin by
Way up high...where the angels fly
Yes, I miss you down here
But I'll see you up there
In the clouds...
Not a day goes by...
Much love Jon!
I love you.....A little something for you...
I'm getting older
Finding myself and God getting a little bit closer
And sober
I'm a little less reckless, little less wild card
Breaking hearts kinda senseless
Yeah, I'm coming around
I might cuss and fight, tell a few lies
Break a few rules, making promises I can't keep
But I've turned the page on wilder days
I'm running all this down hoping you'll see
I ain't saying I'm perfect, but I'm working on a better me
I say I'm sorry
Sometimes it's the hardest part to tell somebody
But I'm sorry
I've been praying
Coming from me that might sound a little bit crazy
But that's how I'm changing
I might cuss and fight, tell a few lies
Break a few rules, making promises I can't keep
But I've turned the page on wilder days
I'm running all this down hoping you'll see
I ain't saying I'm perfect, but I'm working on a better me
Didn't wanna call you up
Didn't wanna just stop
Wanted to take my time and make sure I got every word right
I still cuss and fight
Tell you lies
Break a few rules, making promises I can't keep
But I've turned the page on wilder days
I'm running all this down hoping you'll see
I ain't saying I'm perfect, but I'm working on a better me
On a better me
MG
so, just a few lyrics from a song that I thought you'd enjoy and like to know...
I could jump on some ol' highway
Run a thousand miles or more
Unlock some hidden mystery
Behind a distant door
I could sail the seven oceans
Til I crawl upon some long forgotten shore
But it's always gonna be you
Always gonna be you I'm lookin' for
I could climb a hundred mountains
Leave a hard ol' world behind
Wander right across some prairie
Like a man out of his mind
I could walk and stare into the sun
Let it all just burn me deaf and blind
But it's always gonna be you...
Always gonna be you I'm tryin' to find...

I love and miss you,
Dad
Please accept my deepest sympathy. It is so unnatural and painful to lose someone in death at such a young age. But be assured that Jehovah God yearns to reunite children with their parents by means of the resurrection. In the account at Mark 5:40-42, Jesus lovingly demonstrated what his Father will do for us in the future when he resurrected a 12-year old girl and returned her to her parents. "The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life" (John 5:28,29)

Cora loves her Tio Juan Rey!!!!
This made me totally lose it. Watching Cora crawl up to your picture board and put her hand on your face. She remembers you. She loves you. And she will know everything about you. All the good stuff and the funny stuff!! She will always know what an amazing, kind, loving man you were! I'm so happy there are pictures of the two of you together also. She knows you and when she crawling up to those pictures yesterday she kept looking at me and looking at you and then looking at me and then looking back at you. We love you and miss you so much jon jon. I couldn't even explain how much we miss you bc there are no words to describe it. Love you baby bro. My lil man. My joneva Ann!
