Today, it’s 5 years ago...

[trayi52]

Randi, I also remember the Kitty cruise, it was great. John was a wonderful person. I can't believe it has been five years. That is an unreal number. I know you must miss him a lot. My heart goes out to you this day.

Randi, you will be in my thoughts today. I know it must be difficult for you, as I lost my dear brother a few years ago - and it changed my life forever.

John was one of a kind. Everyone enjoyed reading his stories/threads. He was all of the things you mentioned about him and more. He was your true love.

Rest in peace John.

L,
Sas and her campers.

The threads you posted show that John must have had a great sense of humor. I'm sure he was very special. I'm sorry for your loss.

[Randi]

Thank you all! I also want to thank Dan (Willow Oak) for dedicating his first book to John. Dan tells me that John's stories inspired him to go ahead with his writing and get it published, but some of us here also pushed him, didn't we! I'm sure John would be proud to know he was an inspiration - just wish they could have met.

John / Jonza would be the first to ask that we not Mourn his Passing but
rather Rejoice in his having been here to Enjoy Life with us.

And Enjoy Life he did - every day was an adventure to him - one he always invited
us to participate in. A Story Teller of the First Order, John could spin a Tail
on a moment's notice with little more than a thought to get started with.

We all played some of our best tunes when John *conducted* the Band.

Take another Bow, John! --- You sure earned it!!

{{{Hugs}}}, Randi

Dear Randi, has it really been five years? It just seems like yesterday that we were all posting and taking such joy from John's replies and story telling.

He simply cannot be far from you - you both were too close and shared so much. So even if it has been five years - it still is very fresh for you.

Allow me to send you some hugs and love

Oh Randi, I remember quite well how Sara called us in New York....
I am so sorry - I think we would be very happy to have John now at Pet Talk.
He was a great man and I am glad I could meet him one time.
All the best to you- you and Fister are great survivors.

I did not know John but I am sure he was a great man from the threads I have read! (((Hugs))) to you and kisses to Fister.

Oh Randi, I have not been on for a couple of days and I'm so sorry I missed this and was not here to support you.

It's so hard to believe that it's been 5 years already. John, I hope you had the best view of the Olympic torch as it made it's way across the world.

{{{hugs}}} Randi.

I'm late, so sorry

It's so hard to believe it's been 5 years already. I really can't imagine how much you still miss him.

(((HUGS))) to you
