I'm so sorry for your loss. I was working for visiting angels hen I met John and made friends with him. He make me feel like I had know him forever. I felt we knew each other pretty well. I liked the fact that we had our long talks and our short giggles. He was a super awesome guy and will definitely be missed. Pam
