Dedicated to John Allo's memory

This is what I wrote in the online guest book.

My condolences to John's family. I don't know what else to say so I just wrote a short poem in John's memory.

We are born to live,
but death sets us free,
to move on to a better place,
like it was meant to be,

Though we're far apart,
and tears will fill our eyes,
we'll always have the memories,
Even though we say goodbye,

We will always think of John,
as the sun begins to rise,
and see the smile on his face,
the gleam in his eye,

And when the wind blows so softly,
across the clear blue skies,
Again we will think of John,
And a friendship that never dies.

thanks so much for that Brian hopefully someone can read it at Johns funeral and thank you for such a wonderful expression of care for one of our longtime friends.
Its times like these that we really consider how many times we take for granted even on a forum chatting that a person on the other side of the WWW might just need a kind response versus a negative one. All here are my friends and I truly would miss any of you the same as I now miss John.
