John, even though you were my cousin, you were more like a brother to me. You always made me laugh, even when I wasn't supposed to. You'd charge me a quarter for every time I said "I'm sorry". You sent me a letter and a picture of you in uniform, when you were in Vietnam. I still have it and read it occasionally. We'd call each other frequently to keep in touch. When the four of us played Spades, you made me laugh. It was always you and Iggy against me and Donna. The many memories of us being in Myrtle Beach together as well as going camping together will forever remain in my heart. The funny things that we all experienced together still keeps a smile on my face.....Myrtle Beach....Point Lookout...the camper show at Timonium...the cruise we all went on together to the Caribbean and Iggy kept us laughing at the bar when he handed out notes to the people walking by to give to the piano player so the piano player would play that song....camping at Beth Page....caling me and Iggy to see if we were home so you and Donna could stop by, and when I said yes, you were actually sitting in our driveway and I was still in my pajamas.....you always made fun of my curly hair, saying it was never out of place. You and Donna were always there for me and Iggy during his illness. I could go on and on, but most of all, you mean the world to me and I'm glad that I got to visit with you as often as I could. I'm glad that I was there at the hospital when you were leaving this earth and you opened your eyes one last time so we could all say goodbye to you. It's really tough John, but I know you're now at peace and no longer in pain. You're now there with your mom and dad and Iggy and the rest of our family. You'll always be in my thoughts and prayers and I'll smile everytime I think of you. Love you and miss you so much, John.
