From: TamiEarth on 7 Apr 2008 16:34 My son John. What can I say about John. He was the sweetest boy that ever walked this earth, and believe me, he did alot of walking. lol. He use to love to walk. He brought joy to so many people walking these streets of cave in rock, ill. He was almost 28 when he passed away from us to heaven that day. It was a day I'll never be able to get out of my mind. We were having a town get together. A little street party and a parade you might way, and when the parade my daughter and I, husband and grandson all were walking back home. Well, I got a ride from one of John's friends on his 4 wheeler, he didn't know what was happening at that moment either. Well, next thing I know, (my) car came squealing up to the house, with a girlfriend Amanda in it. John was at her and her husband David's house mowing that day. She slammed open the passenger seat and screamed John's down John's down. Well, of course I didn't know, I didn't want to know what she was meaning, but I jumped in the car, the rest of the family jumped in my daughters car and we all sped down to where John was. When I got there I jumped out before the car could stop, and ran to where everyone was standing around the trailor. They all tried to stop me, but they couldn;'t and I told them to back off, he's my son, but the moment I turned that corner, my heart broke in a million pieces. It's like it just melted. My son was laying on their porch and they were doing cpr on him. They said he stopped mowing, came and sat down and said he was dizzy. Amanda went to get him a drink but by the time she got back, he was already gone. The autopsy said he had an enlarged heart. I can believe that, he had a big one!!!!!!!

Rise up, slowly, Angel. I cannot let you go. Just drift softly 'midst the faces, In sorrow now bent low. Ease the searing anger, Born in harsh, unyielding truth That Death could steal my loved one From the glowing blush of youth. Rise up slowly, Angel. Do not leave me here, alone, Where the warmth of mortal essence Lies replaced by cold, hard stone. Speak to me in breezes Whispered through the drying leaves, And caress my brow with raindrops Filtered by the sheltering trees. Rise up slowly, Angel, For I cannot hear the song Which calls you through the shadows Into the light beyond. Wrap me in a downy cape Of sunshine, warm with love, And kiss a tear-stained mother's face With moonlight from above. Then, wait for me at sunset, Beside the lily pond, And guide me safely homeward To your world, which lies beyond. Just spread your arms to take me In reunion's sweet embrace, And we shall soar, together, To a different time and place. --Diane Robertson Take care, Nicholas

I can't imagine how horrible that must have been for you. We live in a small town too, when my sister recieved some phone cals that her daughter had been in an accident she jumped in her car and somehow ended up behind the ambulance carrying her daughter. I can't get the images out of mind of that day and evening. Did John know about his enlarged heart? Not that it matters just curious.
