John was one of my favorite cousins. Even though I didn't get to see him often, I will sure miss him. He was always good for a laugh.

John has been my friend since I moved here in the 9th grade. Even though the last few years I would mainly see him around town at lunch. Nothing changed he was always the same. He loved to give me a hard time and I loved it too. John was a great person we all loved!
