You are always on my mind

The thought of you is never far from my mind. Constantly I see things that remind me of you.  

Love you, John Raposo

Happy Birthday John

Happy Birthday John

 

You are so greatly missed. 

Wish you were here to make the day brighter. 

 

JOHN RAPOSO - Father, Husband, Brother, Son

 

 

I could never have imagined how destructive people were until you were taken away from us. 

 

 Everyday I think of you.  Everyday you are loved.  Everyday you are missed.

Everyday your missed but your energy is here

 

JOHN RAPOSO

 

As everyday passes we are reminded of how much we miss you. 

 

Your energy and charismatic personality that always captivated the attention of everyone in a room is so greatly missed.  Today was such a special day and although you were not here physically you were here in spirt. We will continue to live on in our memories, and through our conversations of how you touched our hearts. Life will never be the same without you. 

 

Just thinking of you

Everyday I think of you, everyday I miss you John.

John Raposo - Loved flowers

John Raposo loved flowers in life and so when he was taken away from us I showered him with flowers at his funeral, grave site and on College Street to mourn the loss of his life. Thousands of flowers later and all I wish is that he were here he were here to enjoy them.  - I miss you lots John

Happy Birthday John Raposo

I love you always John Raposo - On July 27 2012 I placed flowers on Montrose and College Street in Toronto, in front of Sicilian Sidewalk Cafe 712 College Street - where my brother took last breath as he was murdered on June 18 2012 - just short of his 36th birthday. He often drank coffee on the patios on College Street, where he would talk, and enjoy the company of friends, acquaintances and strangers - his positive energy, love for life and smile is greatly missed by everyone.

On the morning of June 22 2012 my brother John Raposo was being laid to rest while the Sicilian Sidewalk Cafe decided to re-open its doors.

Since his murder flowers, candles and notes have been placed near the Sicilian Cafe on College Street as a symbol of love and devotion to my brother. It is said that the soul remains on Earth for forty days after death; the 40th day marks the ascent of the soul into heaven.

According to this it will be July 27 - which we share as a birthday.

To my brother John Raposo who often enjoyed laughing and smiling.

I love you always.
