Dear John, Rosemary, we never had the pleasure to meet you son personally but can tell from reading all the tributes that he was a wonderful son that brought your family pride and much joy. Having lost our oldest son three years ago, I can truly say we know what you are going through. The many people who love and support you will get you though this sad time and all your memories will help you in the days to come, John will always live in your hearts !

May Godbless you and guide you during this time in your life
Dearest Sarah,
We are so saddened to hear of the news of your husband. No words can express how we are all feeling for your loss at our office. Our deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Condolences to Sarah, Marisa, and the whole Mody family on John's passing.
As a football teammate at Colgate, John was a spirited and fierce competitor. He was also a dedicated and supportive team member who wanted success for others and his team more than individual accolades. While it had been decades between occassional meetings, John will be missed. His fun-loving spirit and camaraderie is a loss for all who knew him.
John's Colgate teammates, even those you have not met, are united in support for you, your daughter, John's parents and family, and each other as we all grieve the loss of a husband, father, son, brother, friend, and teammate.

Dear Rosemary,
I am so sorry to hear of your devastating loss. I didn't know John, but after viewing the video-it's clear that he lived a full life with love, family and friends around him. He leaves everyone with loving memories of him-what a treasure he must have been!
My prayers are with all of you that loved him. I hope all your wonderful memories will comfort you in the days ahead. Rosemary, I know your faith will give you the strength you'll need in the time ahead,and,when you look at sweet Marissa's face you'll see John smiling back at you.

Sarah, I am so very sorry to learn of John's passing. It has been several years since you and I worked together but I do recall how happy he made you even then, as your beautiful smile said it all whenever you spoke of him. Please accept my deepest sympathies to you and your loving family. Warmest regards, Dianne Petit.
To John's Parents, Family, Friends, and most especially his Wife and Daughter.
My heart breaks to hear of John's passing, and I could not believe when I heard the news. John and I were friends in high school, and I ran into him up at Clarkson with Dave Mellon and others. I always felt badly that we neglected to connect there or at subsequent reunions, as I would've loved to hear how life went, and I often asked about him. I was thrilled that John found happiness with his amazing wife and daughter, and it was great to have Facebook to see the joy and memories he created with in them. How cruel the universe is in not allowing him to be with them and enjoy the happiness he so deserved.
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time, and I'll be sending along a book entitled "90 Minutes in Heaven" that often helps in times of tragic loss, and making a donation to his baby girls' fund. Please know that he made a difference in everything he touched. I'm glad that his legacy will live on. My guess is that God needed him to head up his Team, and be the amazing soul that he was.
Peace, prayers, and hopes for some sort of assistance in getting you through this nightmare. I am with you in thought today, tomorrow, and in helping you all in anyway that I can.
PS I will run my first Marathon in Nov, and am dedicating my cancer fundraising to John and another college friend who passed too young, as no one should ever have to grow up without their parent. That is the most heartbreaking part of this all.
