My Beloved Brother

John passed away this morning after a short but very difficult battle with colon cancer. This is all still so surreal and my emotions are out of control. There are so many things I want to say. John was a kind, wonderful, funny, thoughtful brother, husband, father, and son. I couldn't have asked for a better brother. He was always so concerned about me and did everything he could to have the best relationship with me. I will cherish the wonderful Priesthood blessings I was so honored to have received from him. He was always so willing to give me one whenever I needed it or asked. I hope and pray that his wonderful sweetheart, Jacqui is able to know how much I love her and how grateful I am that we are sisters. And I hope and pray that their four beautiful children will always know how much their father loved them. I love you, John.
