Colleen and Patrick -- I'm thinking of you a lot today. I love you both so much and I hope you got some support today. If you took out today's frustration or despair on any innocent bystanders, I hereby use my awesome powers to grant you universal forgiveness. Screw the innocent bystanders...

Hi Colleen. I think you posting here helps us as much -- or more -- than us posting helps you. Thanks for being here and keeping in touch this way. Today I was thinking about how a lot of people have said that losing John has made them want to be better people. Not in just the usual...

I was just telling my roommate a John-and-Colleen story, and so I came here to look and see how you are all doing. There are a lot of posts since the last time I was here. I will look them over, but just want to say hello first, and I miss you.

Hi everyone. I had too many physical hurdles (pain + inability to find a way to get to the site) to make it to any of the events this year. I am so sad I haven't been able to see you all. I really miss you all, esp. Patrick, Colleen, Jen, Mike, Scott, Kathy... well I certainly can't list...

Today is "Poem in Your Pocket Day" in New York, and here is one that I saw that made me think of John because it is very sweet, and about love, and so was he. So, happy "Poem in Your Pocket Day" to all the people that John loved... Love in the open hand, no thing but that, Ungemmed, unhidden...

9 days; 197 posts. So, averaging once every hour, one of us is posting. A lot of us have said we are inspired to be more like John, and to me that seems like it must be so hard to do because he was so good and so patient. But in some ways it may be simpler than we think. This forum shows...

Dearest Colleen, thank you for posting here. It is so good to hear from you. When I woke up this morning I thought the same thing you mentioned: "Today is Monday; a week has passed. Colleen will mark that this morning, too." I don't think a minute goes by that I am not thinking of you, and...

I just returned home from seeing so many of you at the services. What an unforgettable experience. I miss you all so much already. To those who weren't there: several people mentioned that these posts have helped John's Non-Nero family and friends immeasurably. John's uncle told me that...

I just heard the news. Colleen, Patrick... what can I do for you? Please tell me. I'm here whenever you need me. What a loss for everyone; his beautiful voice, his big bear hugs, his shining spirit and his eternal patience and gentleness. There was no one like John.
