Kerri, Alex, Ava, and family,
I wish I could say or do something that would ease your pain. Please know that so many people love and care about all of you. Lean on your family and friends at this most difficult time.
I will miss John so much. Even though I cannot be with all of you today, I am always with you in spirit, friendship, and love. I love you all.
Kerri, I remember being at your wedding 17 years ago and sitting there chatting with your mom. She said back then that you made the right choice because you got a “good one”. And you surely did. He made the right choice too because you were perfect for each other. She loved John like her own and she can now welcome him home with Eddie and John’s mom….they can give him all the love that he’s been missing from them….because he sure as heck got a lot of love down here on Earth. If love could have kept him alive he would still be here. It’s hard to say goodbye but it is freeing knowing that he is no longer suffering. You will do everything right with his children because that’s who you are as a person. May God bless your whole family and guide you as you move forward. Love you all so much. HUGS Glenn C….AKA your mom’s bf…..Shhhh don’t tell Norman. 😉
