    Jay, Monica, and his wife Dee along with all of the Casey Clan, I am so sorry about John. I pray he did not suffer. He was such a happy and good person. I hadn’t seen him in years but remember him fondly from our youth, high school, and then as an adult when I would run into him, he always had that gorgeous smile that just made you feel as though no time had passed at all.
    I’m glad he found love again because he just had so much to give. I wish I had seen him with his kids because I know he had to have been an awesome dad. I remember running into Monica every now and then years ago and she would just beam with pride about what she and John were doing with the kids.
    Jay, you and John were always so close growing up. It was more like you were best friends than brothers. I’m sure that never changed. He’s still with you. Your parents did a good job with all of you kids.
    You know me I go on, but I had major 2 day back surgery in December and am still recovering so I won’t make it to the service. I’m going to hate missing out on the wonderful stories being told.
    Again, I’m sorry for the loss of John.
    My love and condolences to the family.
