Cheers to John !


After our neighbor John had his stroke he had a trech and was unable to eat or drink anything, but that did not stop him from craving a milkshake. He would say that is the first thing I want when I get this tube out. Well poor John never did get his milkshake so me and the girls made him one. We got a milkshake cup from Graeter's and filled it with silk carnations added a plastic cherry on top and a straw. Paige and Megan presented it to Linda last night at the viewing and it was a big hit. She was very touched that we remembered John in such a special way. They had planned to place a golf ball in his casket and some Krispy Kremes (another of John's passions) but she decided that the milkshake would be better since it was artificial. So John is taking our milkshake to the grave with him and we will never ever have another milkshake without thinking of our friend John.
