Patty M Gelsomino Relation to Deceased: Cousin John you will be truly missed. We had great dinner parties, all the eggplant parm, fresh apple pie, and evything you loved to eat. We had good times together. Remember the cousin’s parties we had. Now your Mom can make you apple pies, just remember to tell her she did a great job teaching me and my pies were just like her’s. Love you. My prayers are with the family. we have lots of memories and you will never be forgotten. We will meet again. Love you. Safely Home I am home in Heaven dear ones: Oh, so happy and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty in this everlasting light. All the pain and grief is over, every restless tossing passed I am now at peace forever, safely home in Heaven at last. Then you must not grieve so sorely, for I love you dearly still; try to look beyond earth shadows, Pray to trust our Father’s will There is work still waiting for you, so you must not idly stand: do it now, while life remaineth you shall rest in Jesus’ land When that work is all completed, He will gently call you Home; oh the rapture of that meeting, oh the joy to see you come!
MCDOE / MCDOT Zimmer Relation to Deceased: Woked With John~Thank you for all your hard work in making the highway system better in the county. You will always be”The Man” in a world of men.

So do our loved ones find a beautiful release as, earthbound no more, they leave our sight and joyfully rise to a garden of matchless beauty, a place of light and peace. -Evelyn Phillips
Mark M Borrelli Relation to Deceased: child hood friend John was a good friend, we grew up together up through highschool.Always loved his humor was great to hang out with.He was their for you if you needed him.So sorry for your loss. I think no matter where you stray, That I shall go with you a way. Though you may wander sweeter lands, You will not forget my hands, Nor yet the way I held my head Nor the tremulous things I said. You will still see me, small and white And smiling, in the secret night, And feel my arms about you when The day comes fluttering back again. I think, no matter where you be, You’ll hold me in your memory And keep my image there without me, By telling later loves about me. Dorothy Parker
Linda M Koetsier Relation to Deceased: Cousin John was more like a brother than a cousin.

John, I will miss you terribly, I am sure you are happy though back with your Mom and Dad. Linda The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth.

Heather Catone Relation to Deceased: Daughter Every little kid knows the words to the song…..the foot bone is connected to the leg bone, the leg bone is connected to the knee bone…. In Nursing school I learned that it was a little more complicated than that. But still, the song is not wrong. Everything is connected. Tthe foot bone is connected to the leg bone, the leg bone is connected to the knee bone and if you take one piece out it all falls apart. The human body is made up of symptoms that keep you alive. There’s the one that keeps you breathing and the one that keeps you standing and the one that makes you hungry and the one that makes you happy. They are all connected. Take a piece out and it all falls apart, and its only when our support systems might fail us that we realize how much we depended on it all along. Without you dad I will have to learn how to walk alone without you physically holding my hand, but with you loving me from a far. I love you, I love you, I love you J.C. Your daughter Heather

Andrea Mendez John – You will forever be in my heart and mind. I will NEVER forget what you did for me when Pat had his first Stroke. Cash in hand and handing it out to me you kept telling Me WHATEVER HE NEEDS YOU GET IT FOR HIM! And if you need more you come to me! All the work you and Pat did together when you both were well. Him coming home to me and saying I have NEVER had such a car ride in my LIFE. I think Pat was pal for at least 2 days after his car ride with you. You were an amazing MAN and FATHER and were loved by so many people. Love you forever. As we look back over time We find ourselves wondering ….. Did we remember to thank you enough For all you have done for us? For all the times you were by our sides To help and support us ….. To celebrate our successes To understand our problems And accept our defeats? Or for teaching us by your example, The value of hard work, good judgement, Courage and integrity? We wonder if we ever thanked you For the sacrifices you made. To let us have the very best? And for the simple things Like laughter, smiles and times we shared? If we have forgotten to show our Gratitude enough for all the things you did, We’re thanking you now. And we are hoping you knew all along, How much you meant to us.
