A letter from mom
The short life of John Challis has touched my life so much. He has taught me to enjoy cooking and hunting shows. He has taught me that he can show up in any news paper, TV, or any radio talk show, and even be on ESPN sports. He has taught me to watch the news on TV more because he might be on it even after his passing. He has taught me to stay calm in front of people or TV cameras. (I still need a lot of work on that one.) He has taught me to have humor in my life and to laugh a lot. He has taught me, yes family is very important and so are friends. He even taught me to enjoy riding on a golf cart. He has taught me to follow your dreams no matter how big or small they may seem. He has taught me to enjoy the simple things in life like a quiet moment or just sitting in the sun. He has taught me to believe in yourself and to have great faith in God because you are never alone, and he always had a way to carry us when we couldn’t. He has taught me as his mom when I was teaching him about Love and Life, that he was listening and learning. John knew the love I have for him and the great memories of our family that no one could ever take away. Also his wonderful smile will stay in my heart forever. I am so proud of my son! I never thought he would teach me how to live and die with such grace and class.

Most of all, he taught me that COURAGE + BELIEVE = LIFE

He is always in my heart,
His mom, Gina
