John, I never knew you, but certainly know of you, and you will not be forgotten. Your brother helped me more than you will ever know during the time of my husband's line-of-duty death. It was because of his experience losing you, and caring for your wife after she lost you, that he was able to give me such great advice and show such incredible caring. Your love lives on through them! Rest in peace, and give my love to all the other "angels" for me :)
