Very sad to learn of the passing of cousin John. He was a good friend and although we had not seen much of each other recently, I will always cherish the memories of the good times we spent together.

To our dear friend John,
Mate, words cannot express how much you are going to be missed by all, whilst you may not be here in body, you will always remain with us all in spirit and the memories we can all cherish.
The Ode:
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Lest We ForgetRest easy our friend.

The shock of losing you so suddenly has turned into a profound pain full of loss and emptiness. My world has been shattered and will never be whole again. Rest now my love until I come to join you.
