"Tears cannot erase the pain of death. Only time has that talent."
I'm afraid I only have the tears tonight. I feel privileged to have been able to meet you, although briefly, at last year's National Convention. And to chat with you occasionally online. You were a wonderful human being, and you will be an even better angel!
I send my sincerest condolences to John's family and his students. This will be very hard for them, but John is free from his health problems. Not in the manner he had planned, but free nonetheless.
As I posted to Luanna...I think a child has just been born into the world with a gentle nature, who will be non-judgemental and supportive to his peers, and who will write poetry. I hope to meet that child someday.
Thanks for the memories, John.
