We are deeply grateful to Virginie for making this wonderful decision.<\/p><p>Two years ago, John could still sit in a wheelchair. In the end, he could no longer lift his head. Yet he remained cheerful and generous until his last day, delighted by every visitor and eager to talk. He kept in touch with his \u201csiblings,\u201d the children from the orphanage, using his tablet.<\/p><p>John, we are proud of you. You endured your suffering with great humility and patience.
