Jaye and family, My sympathies and my prayers are with you. I remember your Mom’s dedication and care for John. And then that torch got passed on to you. Bless your hearts for your faithfulness and love for your brother.
Jaye and family so sorry for your loss. My years at REM with John are some of the greatest memories I have. It was a pleasure to see John grown when he moved into his apartment with the other 3 guys. They were the 4 Musketeers, and my happy memories are abundant. The thing I remember most about John is his genuine joy to see people. He always got a huge smile and offered you his hand to shake it. Even if you were just gone for 10 minutes, he was so happy to see you again and again. John was an amazing soul and one of Gods greatest creations. Thanks for sharing him with me and all the other care givers in his world.
Jaye and family, my thoughts are with you as you remember John and celebrate his life today. Huge hugs and healing love is being to sent to you. Never easy to lose a good brother and uncle. Take care! ❤️🥰‼️
