aloha johnny,
you give us strength from above!
Johnny – I know you only met my son, Thomas, once – but I know that he now has a new guardian angel watching over him throughout the rest of his treatment and his life. We will continue to pray for your amazing family, and ask for you to pray for all of us.
The service yesterday was beautiful, and I know how proud you are of your mom, dad, brother, and sister – and all of your family and friends who will miss you so very much.
Thanks for inspiring us all to live our lives to the fullest every moment of every day.
Much love,
Lisa Molina

Dear Romano Family,
You all have been in our thoughts and prayers often. My daughter Amy knows Johnny and you guys, and has shared your story with me and our family. As I gathered with many other folks, whom I did not know, at a prayer meeting for Johnny in Galveston recently, we begged God for Johnny’s healing. No one understands why some people get healed and others do not. Some people get physically healed and continue their lives on this earth and others like J-Grom get healed spiritually and continue living eternally without pain, worry, stress, and disappointment that this life on earth brings. He is skating on streets of gold now and in the safe, secure arms of our Father, God.
The following is a poem I found at “God’s Garden of Poetry” website, (author unknown)for Johnny and the rest of the Romano family.
Wings of Love
Of all the gifts that loving can bring
The greatest, by far, is the gift of wings
Empowered only with hope and uncertain belief
We embark on a journey that will know no relief
Flying onward and upward through all that we meet
Our wings broken and battered as we lay at God’s feet
His voice speaks and enfolds us in a gentle tone
“Rest quietly now, my child, for you are home”.
Peace to you all,
Joan Moss and family

Dear Angel Johnny,
Thank you for showing us the tremendous capacity of the human spirit with your courage, fortitude, and compassion for others. Your family will all be together again in God’s time.
Peace to the Romano Family,
Love you,

Mikey and Jules,
Words fail me as I try to find a way to offer some comfort to you, but I just want you to know that the services were just the perfect way to honor such a special little guy…the homily was the absolute best…I cannot tell you how touched I was by it and how those I’ve shared it with are, too…what a blessed comfort it must have been to have been provided, during Johnny’s last little while, with a special, tangible sign and assurance of Johhny’s seat at the banquet table with the Father. I know that your heart aches and more than anything, like all those who love you, I wish that I could ease your pain. I feel absolutely impotent and helpless in that regard. The best I can do is tell you that I loved your boy; I am here; I am hurting with you; I am praying for you; I will never forget your precious little one; I am in awe of your fierce, dogged; loving parenting–not just for Johnny, but for all three of your precious kids; and I love you. You know how to reach me if you need me. cy
I have been praying for your family since I first read about Johnny from the G-Town Surf Site which is the homepage of my son’s computer. My son has Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and I’m writing this from TCU as he was admitted last night with an infection. Friday night I showed my son Johnny’s obit from the Chronicle and he was very moved and saddened. I’m so sorry for your loss, but I know that Johnny is free from pain and tubes and hospitals and is showing Jesus how to surf this very day.
Sincerely,
Tina Sanders

Hey you guys. I am looking at this from the bottom of the world in New Zealand. I’m actually in the future compared to you guys, one day ahead. I am so sorry to read about your story. I skateboarded for about 12 years, and my little two year old boy Finn loves his board more than anything. The thought of losing him clogs me up instantly and to even try and comprehend your guys loss is impossible. Peace to you strangers, from the other side of the planet.
We were all blessed to have you in our lives…. now you can continue that legacy in heaven!!!
You will be missed more than words could ever begin to explain…
Love always,
Aimee

I read your story, now little johnny is surfing with the duke, mark and all the great surfer… go johnny take a wave and ride the sky
I’ve never even met you Johnny but one day at OB skatepark the guys from real skateboards came by and gave out your pro model.Just seeing all the stuff you’ve been through and you still kept on fighting, thats just inspiring me to keep on going.

Dear Romano Family,
I have never had the honor of meeting you or Johnny. I’ve been keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. I know Johnny was as lucky to have you all as you were to have him. Stay strong.
Julie, Mike, Joey and Sophie….may time heal the pain and loss you are feeling. I used to work with your Nana, and she kept me posted on Johnny and the kids, my heart aches for all of you, and my prayers are now for each of you find strength & comfort in each other. What a great trooper Johnny was, and God now has greater plans for him by his side; your little family was everything to Johnny and no one can replace the joys you shared at the beach. Look too at what a blessing it is to be in the midst of Nana and Pops until you can return to your home. Thanks for sharing the photo of Sophie placing her sticker for Johnny.
