Sorry John, all tribute
from this sober man must be given to your family, who loved and lost more. To
Johns family I knew so well, and will love forever. You invited us into
your home and treated us like family. Then we barged in uninvited and you
treated us like dignitary. You demonstrated patience and tolerance with a smile
and a hug. You shared your trust and your faith; you gave your hope and your
love. As if that wasn’t enough, every year you shared with us your Christmas.
John would often tell us that the greatest example of forgiveness and
unconditional love he had ever witnessed was when his wife and children let him
stay.
So I thank the Gods, for the Carney family, for their love and sacrifice of
John, who shared it with us, so we pass it on…
