I find myself think of you every day and wishing I knew more about your life and who you were. I miss so very much and it has been so long since we've seen each other. Your soul is one that was so good and strong that I feel the loos of your life as if I had know you every day of your life. I hope to one day talk with Donny and your wife so that I can know what a great man you became. I love you Johnny and just had to say it again.

I for one am thankful the paper had away for any of us to help Its in the Gazette.on the day of May 9 I so wish I lived closer but I can do the most importand thing of all that is prayer.. We can all help by what they asked.Its so little but I feel better that I can do something. I love Johnny and the family. A very proud Aunt that was and has been blessed with wonderful nephews. and nieces. I have the warmth in my heart that only the love they shared can give anyone. He is at rest now and with our Father.For him to be with family in heaven is also a blessing for us to remember at this time. For as long as he is remember he will never be forgotten. His children will always be a part of a wonderful man. I pray they will always remember the good times the fun times. Most of that he loved them so.

My heart is heavy today and will never be as full because of your death. As kids we played and then I moved away. My memories of you are of youth and laughter. I wish we would have remained close but growing up is never easy and Cousins grow apart. God bless your soul and may your love warm the hearts of everyone you touched forever.

John & Don Baca Looking Good.

There are no words that will ever help you today.I pray each day your memories will become a glow in your heart. Johnny always tried to do the right thing. I know he so loved his children and wife. His life was to short. We never know why. Thats Gods call. We just know we love him. I am here for you. I love you and your family. I am so thankful I was able to talk or chat with him. He will always be our little Johnny with that beautiful smile. God saw his heart and was with him. We never are alone when we leave this earth. His eyes were forward looking at the ones he loved that went before him. I will remember him with joy and love. Peggy its hard I know. Lean on God he is right there.
Love you all Janet
