Dear John,
Happy Birthday (yesterday)!! I thought about you quite a bit and all the fun we used to have. I hope Heaven is as beautiful as you thought it would be. Most days are good here but have never really been the same since you left. I still miss you and our dances. Give my Mom a hug please and keep watching over me and all the ones I love so dearly. Love Always, Deedah
