"We are all learning how to live in a new way since that day you were taken away. We are learning how to live with the things unsaid knowing we got to say them with every tear that we shed. We are learning how to live by embracing the pain knowing that you live on through the memories that remain. We are learning to live knowing we will never again see your face and we have peace knowing you're in a better place." John will never be forgotten, he was always there to help anyone in need. He was an avid fisherman and loved all kinds of animals. John fought long and hard for the life he was given but always made time to reach out to others. Rest in peace, we will never forget you and will always love you forever. There are no calling hours. Services will be private. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to your local substance abuse treatment center or local animal shelter. For an online memorial guestbook please visit www.potterfuneralhome.com .
