    If you would like to write a dedication, memorial or special thoughts/memories for John,
    please e-mail me and I will post here.

    To the living, I am gone,
    To the sorrowful, I will never return,
    To the angry, I was cheated,
    But to the happy, I am at peace,
    And to the faithful, I have never left.
    I cannot speak, but I can listen.
    I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
    So as you stand upon a shore gazing at a beautiful sea--
    As you look upon a flower and admire it's simplicity--
    Remember Me.
    Remember me in your heart.
    Your thoughts, and your memories,
    Of the times we loved,
    The times we cried,
    The times we fought,
    The times we laughed.
    For if you always think of me,
    I will never have gone.

    I was only twelve when my grandpa passed away. Our time together was too short. He meant a lot to me and I miss him - Kim Jones Dean (his granddaughter).
