To John's family and friends, my heart is with every single one of you. John was a part of my family before I was and he will remain in my thoughts forever, as will all of you. For Aunt Brenda and Uncle Tim, wow...I know how hard this is for both of you.God must have thought you guys needed an angel. Who else better to look after you, right? He's in a better place, with no fighting, no sickness and no pain. If you could hear him now, he'd be saying 'celebrate my life, don't mourn my death'....So, here's to the GREAT John Miller. Cheers.
