This was it: it was our last small group meeting and whoever want ed to shared their experience with their small groups up to then. J-J was one of the We people who shared. He was so thankful for the guys in his group, and thought of them so well. He was also blessed so much by the breakthrough and opening of hearts that occurred that last time they met. J-J was deﬁnitely a vessel for God and he enabled countless people to return to God. J-J was a great friend to many and as has been said, an instrument of the Creator.

He also clearly cared deeply about his friends, and I was touched when he asked me to pray for three of them who were struggling. In an essay he wrote for a class this fall, J-J described a character in a story as follows: "He displays a character mature in his devotion to the memory of his lost friend. He has learned to deal with grief and found the meaning offriendship. He puts his trust in heaven and continues his devotion." May we honor J-J's memory by doing the same. Colleen Richmond
