To the Velasquez Family,

Like any other kind of love, friendship can be lost within our lives due to neglect or anger or, sometimes, simply circumstances. However it is lost, we often lose a part of ourselves that can never quite be recovered. My thoughts go out to you all while you go through this really tough time.

Johnny,
The pain we have been feeling the past days is incomprehensible. The only thing that seems to make it better is remebering the good times that we had while you were here. You had a special light that will not be forgotten. We love you and will miss you forever.

Your friends, Cassi Jarvis and Richard Garcia
