I was lucky enough to have shared a birthday with John. For many, many years we celebrated it together; whether it be cutting the cake 🎂 in half and having his friends on one side of the table and mine on the other or going out and celebrating on the town as we grew up together. I feel very honored to have had that special time with John…we were very close because of those years. I loved him very much and will NEVER FORGET HIM !!!

Where do I begin ? We shared the same birthday 🎂 for starters…one of my earliest memories of this was being in our dining room growing up and all gathering around our big dining room table. We had a birthday cake in the middle of the table and all his friends were on one side, and all my friends were on the other side. And we CUT THE CAKE RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE !! And had a heck of a good time. I feel very honored that John and I got to have all those years together celebrating our birthdays because we were very close !! Even though we were four years apart, I felt MUCH CLOSER !! I will NEVER FORGET YOU JOHN AND I’LL LOVE YOU FOREVER !!! YOU LEFT US WAY TOO SOON !!!
