John,
Been a long time - I have never forgotten you - seems like yesterday we were on Brandywine Street setting off fireworks. I saw your mom and dad several years ago and we recalled the days gone by in good old DC.

Hey uncle Johnny. I never got to meet you or find out what you were like, but even though you are not here you are still my hero. I wish you were around for your mother and your passed father who miss you dearly. You will always be remembered and in our hearts. My dad misses you too.

Your nephew,
