![]() ![]() ![]() His life to us may have been a Mystery, but his heart was not. He was a good man who wanted to make us laugh and have a good time. Give us a chance to smile, when we thought we couldn't. Let us hold his memory alive, for he was to us, a man with compassion, humor and a huge heart. We will miss you MM and all the joy you brought to the room. No one will ever take your place. To Brenda, the one who has his heart, we are all here for you. For you both are in our hearts. Here is comments from the roomies who loved him...... JOHN TOUCHED ALL OF OUR LIVES LIKE A RAY OF SUNSHINE. WE LOOKED FORWARD IN ANTICIPATION TO HIS NEWS. WE WERE ALL SAFE THERE, NO BACK-STABBING OR RUMORS, JUST PLAIN GOOD OLE FUN. YOU WILL BE MISSED OUR FRIEND. BRENDA, YOU ARE IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. WE ALL LOVED JOHN, BUT THE TWO OF YOU WERE JOINED AT THE HEART. WE ARE HERE WHEN AND IF YOU NEED US. YOU AND JOHN ARE BOTH LOVED BY MANY. OUR AQG FAMILY WON'T BE THE SAME WITHOUT JOHN. HE IS OUR "CANDLE IN THE WIND." LORI & MARK (LORIHUN1) I didn't really talk to MM very often, but he was always a very sweet man, and always friendly to me along with everyone else. I loved receiving his mail, as it always made me smile for one reason or another. He will be dearly missed as a roomie, a reg, and a very good friend to all of us. My heart goes out to Brenda and all who knew and loved John, AKA MysteryMan. (Wastatecowgirl72) OMG, I just could not believe the news that was brought to my email tonight. It feels unreal...I had just had sent him his winning tag for Trivia, which is enclosed here, as he did not get the chance to see it. He was a great guy, alot of fun to chat with. He never got one of my Trivias wrong, not once. I will miss him terribly, and pray that he is safe in the hands of our Lord, and watching over Brenda and the rest of us. We will always have a special place forhim in our hearts, and in AQG. (WetNwiLd 20F) ![]() Mysteryman Mysteryman was a very Kind, Caring , and Loving Person. He always made you smile no matter what kind of day you where having. I remeber the time he pulled me up for a story in his news. I was like you want to put Me In the news??? I thought that was so cool. He always had a way of making everyone feel so good and loved. You could tell he was deeply in Love with Brenda Aka Babydoll12120611, She made him so Happy, As he made her so Happy too. He will be missed by all, and where all so devastated by loosing a great Person & Friend. Spread Your Wings Wide Mysteryman & Fly High For You Have Touched all of our Lifes. Dalene Aka Tweetdoms1 In the point of rest at the center of our being, we encounter a world where all things are at rest in the same way. Then a tree becomes a mystery, a cloud a revelation, each man a cosmos of whose riches we can only catch glimpses... ~Dag Hammarskjold (( ** MM ** )) John .. thank you for sharing with me your wit and your poetry ... thank you for allowing me to watch and opportunity to learn from the diplomacy with which you handled situations and people and to witness thru your writing and expressions your honor and respect for the love that you found, felt and cherished .. thank you for these glimpses ... and thank you for how we all shine a little brighter for having known the honor of your presence. With love, Ginene aka MuseGenie/Anna Mysteryman and BabyDoll have the love so many of us dream of. Their happiness inspired each of us to keep our hearts open to the knowledge that our very own soulmate is out there waiting for us. John will live in our hearts always and we will all keep Brenda close to us...until the day that he wraps her in his arms again! Brwn (BrwnEyedVixxen) Dear friends, I didn't quite know what to say for this dedication, i know all of you know how wonderful and how much we all enjoyed MM, but i wanted to make sure he knew, so i wrote this for him, this is how i deal with passings of loved ones, i write to them, weird? maybe to you but it gives me a sence of closure kind of my way of saying "goodbye for now" We all deal with hard things in diffrent ways, and this is how i deal with it and it does me alot of good. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One dear friend that will always be close to my heart, you will never be forgotten, all the laughs you shared with me, the talks about "summer dresses" and the jokes about "golf" i will always cherish deep inside my heart. I would give anything for one more laugh to share with you, or one more AQG News to read as I am waking up.You are a wonderful man, full of love and laughter, full of wisdom and knowledge, full of life. And you will remain that way in my heart and soul forever. You meant a lot to me and to everyone else. I wish i could have told you thank you for all the laughs you have given to me, i wish i was sending this e mail to you, but i know you can see it, i know you are here with all of us, and we know you are waving that little halo of yours at us, teasing cause you have a real one, but rest a sure dear friend we will all have ours one day, and while your waiting for us to get there get that table and dice ready cause we gonna play this game for real one day :) But until that wonderful day comes along, you will always live in our hearts. This white candle I am burning in your memory this evening will remain in the candle stick holder and right next to my computer, and everyday when I look at it, I will no longer shed a tear but instead smile and remember the joy and laughs you have brought to me and everyone else. Thank you Mystery Man!!!!! Truly missed but NEVER forgotten!! Your friend now and forever, Kathryan J. Ladner AKA Nikki (Nikki1066838345) Never End Your spirit will never end As long as your love remains with us, friend Your kindness will prevail Memories will never fail Advice you give will last Even as aqg generation pass Your laughter rings out loud Even though you're on that cloud The warmest hugs we ever felt Were the several you dealt You will never be forgot We never will and will not In our hearts you will stay We will dream of you when we pray We can see your warm glow Even though we really know You're not here any more Peter let you through the door You sit at God's right hand side, To watch over us with pride. For you, John. We all Miss You! Omercyyesss I remember the first time I came into the AQG room, Mystery was the first person to greet me and make me feel welcome. He took the time to explain things to me and was sweet and kind...he even laughed at all my bad jokes! I'll miss his upbeat attitude and his fun outlook on everything. Rest in peace, Melody (MELODY111959) "He always knew how to put a smile on your face and a smile in your heart. He will be missed my many. We all loved you!" Julie (Cutiepie696969) My freinds,what can be said about our dear freind Mysteryman,we must look at his life as that of a candle, its flame starts so small but it grows and grows until it casts out all the shadows,unfortunately it has come to pass that its flame has been extinguished all too soon. We should look back on this memory and smile for every day he made us smile and learn of ourselves, he will be sadly missed and fondly remembered. After all ,perhaps some of us are no longer afraid of the shadows. Respectfully , Doc Savage MysteryMan was the kindest, sweetest person you could ever talk to. He always brightened my time in AQG with him.. Whenever he was in the room, my face was sure to have a smile on it.. (((Mystery))) You will be greatly missed by myself, and a whole lot of others... Always in my memories of AQG... ~ Kara (LilMsBhaving1) I also write with my deepest regrets and sorrows for Babydoll. It seems life has a way of giving and taking things away. I like she requested will shed no tears, but will look at my children , and be thankful for everything that I have. I also would like to recite a few words to a song that just makes me feel a little better when we lose someone close. Another turning point a fork stuck in the road, time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go. So make the best of this passing known as life. Its not a question just a lesson learned in time. There something unpredictable but in the end it's right. I hope you (Mysteryman) had the time of your life. Sincerly, Scarlet (SCARRLETT1) I haven't been on as Bny as often, but i signed on this morning, and found the first of many emails regarding Mystery.... OMG... what do i say to this... i sit here at my computer completely heartsick and devestated. He and I weren't as close as some of the others, but I always thought of him when the word friendship came to mind. He was always there with a soft shoulder to cry on, an open ear to listen, and a strong arm to carry you, while your burdens weighed you down. I am absolutely stunned at the news of his passing. This is indeed one of the saddest days i've had in some time. He will be missed by many, not the least of which will be me. Julsey (BnyGrl01) May he walk with God and sing with the angels. Missing you, Gentry (Gentry6144) MM i didnt know you that well, but the little time i been inhere, you was a good friend to me and i will truely miss you bro, i guess heaven needed yet another angel up there, you will be truely missed by me...thanks for the laughs bro truehhh aka aaron i've been sittin with this blank email on my screen for about 50 mins or so..nothin i type could possibly ease the pain Brenda's feelin right now..it's seems so impossible that somethin like this could happen.. so i don't wanna believe it..it's times like this that make you wonder what god could have been thinkin..i find myself lookin up and sayin.."hey!! he wasn't done down here..he didn't get the chance to truly show her just how much he loved her..and she wasn't done showin him just how much she truly loves him.. and "WE" weren't done with him..we were just gettin to know him..you've hurt alot of people takin him..God..this is so unfair" i don't understand why god did that..i'm not even sure i wanna understand it..but i believe in angels..and i know you have a new angel in your life Brenda...one thats gonna take extra special care of you..i wish i were better at this kinda thing..but i'm not..i don't know who Mysteryman really was..but i had alot of respect for him..this guy..with just one newsletter email.. brought a smile and laughter to so many people around the world..and those same people will grieve the loss of this special man..who had a "GREAT" heart..

WITH LOVE TO YOU ALL, BETSY (Betsyslove4you) Mystery Man was one of the greatest people I have met on here, Always willing to help someone in need, always sacrificing his time to give us all a laugh, expecting nothing in return. I will miss him greatly. God Bless him always. Peggy (LLoveAngels76) To everybody and especially Babydoll our deepest sympathy and regards we all loved MYSTERYMAN and will miss him very much he was a very good friend and a great person treasure the things you have and never take for granted, strive to do your best let the people you know how much you do love them and care for them, cause you never know when God wants them to come visit, take care all we Love ya'all Jim (WaStateCowboy) Tammy (Bubblicious) I didn`t really know Mystery as well as some did, but I always looked forward to reading the news, and hearing about how he felt about things, and especially about his love for Brenda. A piece of AQG left with him. Guess we`ll never know how many toys Day DID have in her basket. Menmealn Our hearts were very sadden to learn of the tragedy that took a dear friend. Thou our paths never crossed in person we feel a deep loss. Our prayers and thoughts are with his family and other close friends at this time of sorrow. He was a wonderful caring and loving individual that will be greatly missed by all. Value life everyday every minute to the best that u can with what ever it gives you. Tell your love ones how much they mean to you and how much u love them. Life itself is to precious to waste on the petty stuff that happens instead focus on the future and what lies ahead and what you can do to make it better. Steve and Michelle Fernatt TheMeatster74 & Dare2dream71 Mystery was always there to make us laugh and to show us that love does exist even when there is a distance factor and that we all can be happy. He had a way of makin ya smile even when you didnt want to. Along with his NEWS makin everyone laugh and brighten their day. Thank you Mystery for everything you have given us and we will miss you greatly (((((((((( Mystery ))))))))))))) Rachell AKA Misgigles One to Remember DEDICATED TO MYSTERYMAN One of us is gone And it's hard to say, "Why did he have to go so far away ~ It was only an accident. It's sad but true. John is gone, and, God, he is with you. ~ It came as a shock To all of us here the pain that we feel is more then we can bare ~ So young and so sweet. Why did you take him away He would never do a thing To hurt a person in any way. ~ I didn't really know him, But I could've if he were here. He seems like a great guy from all that I hear. ~ He's touched many people. He was everyone's friend. Everywhere he went, he would always fit in. ~ God, grieve for the women Whose sweetheart you took away. Be there for her in every loving way ~ Help us through And lead the way. Please make all this pain just go away. ~ We know he's in heaven Up there above. We want him to know he'll always be loved. ~ He'll be in our hearts, Be remembered forever By all of his friends we'll forget him never ~ I guess it was his time. There's nothing we can do, But say these last words, "We love you, and God loves you, too (((((((((((((**mysteryman**))))))))))))))))) NCC1701420(Lori) Mystery (John) was one of the nicest men I ever had the pleasure of knowing... how I wish I had been lucky enough to have known him better. I never heard him utter a rude or disparaging remark about anyone. He welcomed everybody into our little group without regard to their "Reg" status, and I never knew him to make anyone feel uncomfortable. His sense of humor was priceless and he brightened many a dismal day for a lot of us. His obvious love for Babydoll (Brenda) was immeasurable and heartwarming. She has lost her soulmate... we have lost a wonderful friend; but did you notice something... wasn't that an extra bright twinkling star I saw up in Heaven tonight? :o) Rest easy, John. You left a lasting impression and will not be forgotten. You will truly be missed. Love, Sandi (aka SandiSmiles2U) I met MysteryMan over 2 yrs ago and he was always the heart and soul whenever I was in the room. He always made it a point to im me when I wasn't in the room and always had a giant shoulder for anyone who needed it. He will be missed greatly in my heart:( Donna aka SHLEP (SHLEPROCK3) I have tried to think of something good to say about MysteryMan, but the words came out all wrong. I am not a religious man, but I do know that Oysterman was a decent well rounded person. He seemed to take a person for face value, not judgmental and had a great sense of humor. I hear tell that he had fallen in love with another roomie, and to her loss I feel her deep sorrow. For MysteryMan himself, He will sorely be missed in the room. I can only hope that he is content in his everlasting slumber. I am content that MysteryMan knew and felt the love that was showered his way from the folks that spoke to him on a personal level. Even those to whom he was merely another screen name in the AQG room. I will miss the MysteryMan for he was one of the folks that epitomized the word "chat." "Come on in, take your shoes off, sit a spell. Have some fun and remember, come on back now, you hear:"? Thywanaply A sentiment from a tiny card I keep with me always... Those we love remain with us, for love itself lives on, And cherished memories never fade because a loved one's gone... Those we love can never be more than a thought apart, For as long as there is memory, they'll live on in the heart. We will always remember 'Mystery' with a grin ... hugs, Anna (Breezberi) and Tim (SantanaWind) mystery man was a great man. he was sweet, caring and always there if u needed to talk to someone. Sxytonya He was so nice... and funny. I found something really funny one day and thought it would be soo great for the paper ... I sent it and the next day he had it out.... and thanked me. He was just so thoughtful, no matter to whom or about what... He always took the time. I didn't know him well..But I shed tears for him.. ( A good soul is always the hardest to lose.. and he was one of the good ones) Sincerely112 MysteryMan, My prayers are with you and your family and friends. I trust that the Lord has showed you the joy and laughter you brought to all of your Roomies in AQG. I'm thankful for the time that I knew you, and cherish the memories of LMFAO over your News and chats/games in the room. Stay safe and happy, John. Watch over those who're left behind until God calls them to be by your side again. I'll miss your warmth and caring ways. ~KatzOut4Fun~ Poems from MysteryMan to His love Babydoll I LOVE YOU JUST WORDS TO SOME BUT NOT TO ME FOR YOU ARE THE ONE AND I LOVE THE SOME SAY THE WORDS BUT THEY DO NOT FEEL BUT BRENDA MY LOVE FOR YOU IS FROM THE HEART AND IS REAL EVERY DREAM I HAVE I HAVE OF YOU EVERY BREATH I TAKE I TAKE FOR YOU I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY MY LOVE FOR YOU GROWS STRONGER EVERY DAY SO WHEN A WARM BREEZE BLOWS THROUGH YOUR HAIR SMILE FOR ME AND KNOW I AM THERE TOUCHING YOU SOFTLY AND KISSING YOU SO I LOVE YOU SEXY THIS YOU MUST KNOW ALL THROUGH WE ARE NOT HUSBAND AND WIFE KNOW THAT YOU HAVE MY LOVE FOR ALL OF YOUR LIFE I LOVE YOU MAYBE JUST WORDS TO SOME BUT YOU ARE MY LIFE AND MY LOVE YOU ARE MY ONLY ONE SO WHEN I SAY THESE WORDS TO YOU ALWAYS REMEMBER THEY ARE TRUE I LOVE YOU BRENDA FOR BRENDA MY LOVE WHEN A WARM BREEZE BLOWS THROUGH YOUR HAIR SMILE FOR ME MY LOVE AND KNOW I AM THERE YOUR HAIR OF GOLD YOUR EYES OF BLUE MY MORNING KISSES WERE FOR ONLY YOU REMEMBER BRENDA IT'S YOU I LOVE AS I WATCH OVER YOU FROM UP ABOVE REMEMBER THE FUN TIMES THAT WE SHARED SNOOD AND SUPERSOAKERS AND THAT I CARE PLEASE KEEP ME ALIVE IN YOUR SMILE AND HEART AND KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU EVEN THOUGH WE ARE APART I LOVE YOU BRENDA |
