I never thought I’d be writing something like this on what used to be our Surfside Baking Company page…
So many of you knew John through the bakery. You saw us together when you came in. If you got to try his Hawaiian rolls or cinnamon bread you know there is no better.
This page was once filled with cinnamon buns, whoopie pies, laughter, long days, and the life we built together.
Now I’m just trying to figure out how to exist without him in it.
If you knew John, loved him, or even just stopped in and talked with us at the bakery… you were part of our story. And I know you felt what made him so special.
Thank you for the love, the prayers, the messages… I see every single one. I just don’t have the strength to answer them all right now.
I may plan something here in New Bern when everything calms down to remember him. I will keep everyone posted.
