I am so sorry to hear of the passing of my former co-worker, who I would chat with daily about his NY Giants and my Pittsburgh Steelers. A pleasure to know and work with. May God Bless him and all your family, as he’s finally at Peace.

John, Chereis and Jackie: I am keeping you in my prayers. This has been a very difficult time, but you have taken all the hits like champions! Nothing I say will take away you pain and sorrow, just want you to know I’m only a phone call away!

Weeping may endure for a night but joy will come in the morning you and your family are in my prayers and I know that my God is able to do anything but fail that he cannot do.
God Bless

Hola John and Family.
I wanted to send a little message to let you know that I’m thinking about you and your family. I know you have been through so much these last few years. Please cherish and savor the moments you had with your parents. I know they loved you so much. I could tell by just listening to the family stories which I could always relate to. It may have been crazy but it was always all love and that is priceless and something you can share with your children and grands to treasure forever. I can promise you that you will always not feel so much sadness as God will bring you new sunny days. Thank God for New days. I will be praying for you and the family as you prepare to face each new day .
