Please help me to remember my older
brother, "JOHNNY" He went to join his
heavenly father at the young age of
17. Today is his birthday and he
would have turned 48. HAPPY
BIRTHDAY BROTHER. YOU ARE TRULY
MISSED.
Penny, so wonderful! So lovely! This image, and the text is a wonderful way to help get the rest of us in touch with your dear Johnny. His eyes, you've done them with love. You honored him greatly, and I know what it's like to have such strong feelings for a sibling. There will always be a connection to your loved one regardless of the loss of physical presence. I know he holds you to his heavenly heart, Penny. Marvelously well done!!
your borther had such a beautiful smile! and your tribute and portrait of him it's so beautiful!! *hugs*

I also had to comment on this portrait of Johnny. Johnny you were and still are my older brother. We were only fifteen months apart. I missed you sooo much. It's so hard being the older child now, when in my mind, you are the older child. When I was going through teenage stuff, and ran away, you were the one who snuck to see me. I will NEVER forget that. You always stood by me. I named my youngest son after you to honor the find young man that you were. I know our parents suffered your passing greatly, but I never told them what a piece of my heart went with you. I love you and know that we will meet again. Your sister Penny

You may not have met me, but apparently I am somewhat similar to you in many ways. I also have inherited your name as my own middle name. I have heard of you all of my life and yet I will never get the opportunity to meet you. I am told that at such a young age you had the potential to be so much and that was opportunity was taken from you on one night by a drunken driver. I may not ever get to meet you but somehow I feel as though I already know you, through the stories told from the loved ones who have met you and those times when I feel as though you and I are actually quite similar. You will never be forgotten and your life will live on in through the stories told from the ones who had the pleasure to have met you. Happy Birthday Uncle Johnny
Gone But Never Forgotten

Johnny very much loved and very much missed. Such a giving,and helpful person to me his Aunt Jo-Ann who was pregnant and very much in need of help. There was nothing he would not do for me. He once walked 10 blocks to get me a pizza . I will always hold a special place in my heart and my mind for John. I miss you.
Penny You did a nice job. I know miss your brother dearly and so does he. He knows how much you love him.He heres the love in you voice when you speak of him. Today you remember the day of his birth, and you Draw to remember his life. I am thinking of you. I know your bitter sweet memories.( Me the Hillbillywitch)
