John, I didn't know what I would say to you last Friday before I came to see you with Hannah. The words came easily once we got there and started BS'ing about everything under the sun. I can't believe it has actually come to this. I'm crying at my keyboard wishing there was more time. Thank you for being the person you are. You are an incredibly gifted writer and I will miss your blogs. Some of them had me laughing hysterically with your funny perspectives. I feel as though I have gotten to know you better through your writings! You are the bravest man I know. You have helped me to put things "into perspective", as you said that night. I will miss you. Please say Hi to my mom when you see her. Much love, Mary

In response to wannabe30, if you donate blood, the platelets are one of the components that can be extracted from the whole blood and transfused into those that need just platelets. So donating is one way to help.

John, My heart aches for your family. My congregation at Resurrection is praying for you all. You are amazing right along with your parents and siblings. I don't know how you all gather the strength to face the enormous obstacles that never seem to stop popping up. I love you all and think about you often. Keep up the fight!!! Mary B.

Why am I not surprised that your mom and dad came up on your birthday? That's just the way they are. You are all lucky to have each other. Happy Birthday John, and many more. Mary

Just had a thought John. Have you tried Culver's concrete turtle shakes? They have about 1400 calories apiece and are really good. If you can tolerate ice cream products and have a Culver's around you should give this one a try. Mary

Hi John, It's Mary B. I finally got around to checking out your blog. It's great! It's also very uplifting to be reminded that you are still very much with us and plan keep it that way. I remember what seems like 100 years ago being at your house on Hill St. Who would have ever dreamed that life would take such turns. I so love and admire your family for the unwavering strength and love you all have for each other. I think about all of you daily and pray that things are going OK. Love and strength, Mary

Joann, Sam, Shelly, Mike, Jim, and Bob,
You have all been through a family's worst nightmare and have endured with amazing strength, grace and love. I love you all and am grieving with you at the loss of John. He is finally at peace, and in heaven with the rest of our family. Love, Mary
