Dear John,
Michael and I already miss you. Brady too. We will forever treasure our chats on the porch. We will miss you catching us off guard yelling "Braaaady" when one of us was trying to sneak him out in our PJs. We will miss hearing your car start up at 8:25pm on the dot to go to Hennesey's for Keno and then hearing you return around 10pm like clockwork. We will miss the scratch tickets you would collect for me to enter for second chance drawings. We will miss your knowledge of just about everyone and everything going on in the neighborhood at any given time. We will miss your blunt and sarcastic sense of humor and especially your friendliness. You gave us such a warm welcome to the town and home will never be the same without you next door. Fly high, buddy. We love you. You were one of our most treasured friends and we will never, ever forget you.
Love,
Krista, Michael, and Brady
