Dear Julie and family,
Thank you so much for the beautiful story of John’s life and your precious time together. Our hearts are so broken for you.
We always enjoyed getting together with you in Carrington and having Kate over at our house. We loved hers and Mandy’s friendship! We are so sorry for your loss and want you to know you’re in our hearts
and prayers. Our love to you all...
Mark and Mary Brakel

Hi Julie - I've been thinking about you and sending prayers to you and John as he continues his journey.... My heart is broken for you and your family. Your words are a beautiful testimony of John and your life together. I love that you and John danced together every night... may the grace and love of your dances continue to flow through you. Love you, Leslie

Julie, although you don’t know me very well we have met a couple of times. I am one of Tuffys dear friends. I just want you to know I’m praying for comfort & peace during this very difficult time of painful loss. Love Cinda

Sweet Julie, our hearts are broken for you and your family. Thank you for this beautiful testament to his life -- a life so well-lived with integrity and honesty and love for his family and the earth. He had such a quiet presence, but oh my what an impact he made during his time here on earth. There's a huge hole in our lives at his loss, but there will always be a special place in our hearts for our dear friend, John. Holding you in our hearts and prayers. Love, Sheila & Jack

Dear Julie and Family, Thank you for sharing such wonderful words. The feelings of sadness and loss come from deep in my heart, a place where words cannot express such emotion. But I will nevertheless try to say what I feel inside. John was my friend, my good friend, my eternal friend. My hero. I will forever strive to be the man that he was. Much love, Jon

My mother always adored you and your family and treasured the time she got to spend with you all. You had an amazing life and family together. Our love and condolences to you.

Dear Julie, Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful words. What a touching testament to a life lived well. It was an honor to know John , even a little. So much love, so many years. You and your family are in my heart every day. Love and more love.

What a beautiful testament to an incredible man. I only knew him through Kate’s stories & through this site, but I know how much you all are missing him. My continued love and prayers for comfort and peace in your hearts at this time. He sure loved his family and friends.

I love you Julie. My heart is so sad. I feel like words fall flat, but are still important. We’re here for you.

Dear Julie, Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful picture of John's life. We are blessed by your writing skills
and ability to share so much. He has graced our world in so many ways.
I am so glad you two made the decision to move to BI near Kate, Kyle and Arlo and SO much natural beauty. I am sure this will be healing for you as time passes.
Thanks for the info about the service. I will be there!
As I was at Archbishop Hunthausen's funeral today, I was thinking of you.
Continued thoughts, prayers and love.
