My Dearest Mother, You never met John Mingo, but he was a dear friend and like a brother to me. John passed on to Heaven's Gate on January 31, 2011. Please welcome him with your open arms of love. The Candle Light Rose Ceremony on In Memory Of Pets was created for you as I played "The Rose" for you all of the time during your illness and passing. John is at peace now with you and the rest of the family in Heaven. Welcome John with love from our hearts. Your loving family, Carole
