Today, it’s 5 years ago...

[Randi]

... I lost John. I believe he's with me in spirit.

I have somehow managed to get on with my life, although it’s not been easy, but with the help of my friends, also PT friends - old ones and new ones, who was ready with comfort when I most needed it, it has made it a little easier. I want to thank you all here. You don’t have a clue how much I appreciated it. And having Fister around has helped keep me sane, too - more or less.

I still miss John very much of course, he was a wonderful person - loving, helpful, intelligent, funny, courageous, and a real catlover.

John’s grave is still covered in snow, but I have been there today to light a candle for him.

I would like to share a couple of typical threads he posted on PT, that illustrates the sense of humor he had, and what kind of person he was. There are many more.

We miss him, but are sure he's having a good laugh up in heaven, sharing good stories with Corinna, and Molly (sammi) and other friends.

I wasn't fortunate enough to know your John, but it sounds like he was a wonderful person indeed. I know that you must miss him terribly.

I will light a PT candle for both of you............

Jonza was a wonderfully articulate man. I am thinking of you, and he, today.

It was a sad day Randi. The world needs more people like John.
I can hardly believe it has been five years.
Thinking of you today.

To Randi, on this sad but loving anniversary. I never had the privilege of knowing John in person on line. From what I do know of him from his own earlier postings and those of Randi and their friends, I know he was a wonderful human being.

Rest in peace, John, and to you both, {{{{{HUGS}}}}} and ~~~~~PURRS~~~~~ and ,

Pat and the cats.

Randi,

Thank you for sharing him with those of us who did not know him. His essence shines through in those posts - I am smiling ear to ear.

How blessed you were to share your life with this lovely man! My is with you. . .
