LInda,

My prayers for comfort and piece are with your family. With John's passing, God has received another angel into heaven. John certainly provided the comfort, support, and wisdom of an angel while here.

Linda,

My deepest condolences to you and your family. Your husband was so well-regarded and loved here. What a tremendous loss to the world. I thought so highly of John's willingness to help others and his courage and hope in this challenge, that in a very recent Yankees-Sox series this NY fan found herself wishing that Boston would win, if just for John.

It was an honor and privilege to share part of this journey with a beautiful soul such as John was. None of us want to be here, yet there are those whose courage and dignity and gentle humor make this path a more bearable one. John was one of those people. My deepest and sincerest condolences for you as you grieve. I pray for strength for you and yoru children during the coming days.

Linda and family

My heart is shredded, and I'm crying after reading about John's passing. This is from a person who only knew him from his optimistic, hopeful posts.
John is a true warrior, because every time some nasty news was tossed his way, he regrouped and carried on with grace and courage. How awesome is that?

May John's memory be a blessing to you, his family and friends.

*gentle hugs all around*

Nan
