In Loving Memory
John BoxMitchell, Indiana Parents: Siblings: Click here to view photo gallery |
Our beloved John, died at the age of 18, just 5 days after his high school graduation. Loved by many, a standout athlete, loyal teammate, and loving son, his smile could light up a room and fill your heart with love. His death has left us broken, but our love for him keeps us together. Below is an excerpt taken from a facebook page created in his memory. The excerpt was written by his nephew:
"truly one of a kind. its amazin how things changed. i was suppose to wear your number. you were suppose to come to my games on fridays. i remember you tellin me that day at your house that you'd be there to watch me. i barely even played football after you died. i miss it sometimes when i think of you. i wonder how things would have been different."

This is a poem that was written for all of us remembering our loved ones this May. Though it was originally written in a poem format I was unable to have it appear this way on the NOPE site. The Title of the Poem is “REMEMBERING YOUâ€
Another year has passed us and a new year has begun. As we ponder upon our past reflections, refreshing those memories of who you are, we turn to gaze at pictures, remembering you from our hearts. Our loss has caused us grieving, because we love you so… but each year past and coming I want to let you know,
We will always Love you dearly and missing you so very much. So when the tears fall from our faces, they are kisses sent your way. And when our chests tighten in grieving, they are hugs surrounding you this day. Another year has past us, and a new year has begun. We will forever hold you closely, deep within our hearts, and surrounded in our Love.
