I like to plan ahead.

“This was written in John’s own words and nothing was changed, although I did fill in the blanks as he instructed. I want to add that John and I had a wonderful life together and humor was key to our adventures. He was everything a girl could wish for and so much more. I will miss him greatly — Jana”
