Tonight in France, I am writing this tribute to my friend John and can't even believe that we will never see him again. It seems impossible.

John was the best man I had the chance to know, so gentle, caring and a loving person. He was the same for everyone. A real gentleman. A beautiful person in and out. He will be terribly missed.

My thoughts are also going to his daughter Michelle and the kids, John loved you so much -always remember it- and to his family.

John, wherever you are on this day, you are and will always be in my heart. RIP.

Your French friend Viviane.
