“Thank you JDR”
John,
Where to start… We first met over 30 years ago and for the past 24 years it has been our collective joy to watch our beautiful daughter grow into an amazing young woman.
I Thank you John for her!
You have always been an amazing father to Arianna, providing her with love, friendship and guidance. You have bestowed on her your kindness, warm heart and wisdom.
Thank you John for that!
Together we supported her as she received her sacraments, excelled in gymnastics, sparkled in school plays, and most recently as we shared her passion for Alabama .
We Thank you John for those memories!
We rushed to be near you, but you had already left us. As Arianna and I stayed with you and prayed, I could feel her pain, her heart was broken.
Since that day, I feel her emptiness, sadness and her fear.
She will miss out on sharing her life and future with you, and as her mom I will always know her secret pain.
She will miss you terribly John !
Now that you are in heaven, please be the driving spirit in her life. Guide her through challenges, celebrate with her during her accomplishments.
Keep your spirit and smile bright as you always did when seeing her. Watch over her and guide her steps, carry her when she needs you, let her feel your joy in her successes.
Thank you John for being a friend, for being a father and most of all for Arianna !
Yours,
KEF
