Memories
Zachari J. Vrona
When John Cage joined the USS Sunfire as Lieutenant T'Maekh tr'Lennex, the Chief Intelligence Officer, we didn't talk much until the second mission. Lieutenant Zachari J. Vrona and Lieutenant T'Maekh tr'Lennex become great friends and Vrona even wound up being Lennex's best man at the wedding between Lennex's and Cassie Knight's wedding. When I assumed Command of Starbase 10, Lennex was the first person I asked to join as my Executive Officer. Me and him had a lot of fun planning and writing missions, but me and Lennex also became friends out of the game. Through AIM and e-mail we became good friends, his mother said I was considered a close friend and he talked about me often. We talked about a lot of things; Girls, sports, school, our RPG, movies, almost everything possible. We never met in person, but we hoped to one day, at the IDF meeting our something. Maybe we still will, I hope he one day opens the gate for me in heaven. John Cage, was the best friend I had in the sim world, and I was hoping that on-line friendship would evolve a little more into a real-life friendship, and it pretty much did. John seemed to be everything I wanted to be. He had a good GPA, and was a fine athlete until he was hurt. He was a lot better person than I was. I could of been those things, but never wanted it badly enough. In the face of adversity he triumphed always, while I always seem to falter. John was just a great person, not only did we lose a great person, but the world did. Me and him had just one of those special bonds. I'll forever miss him.
Every single day, every time I pray, I'll be missing him. Every step I take, ever breath I take, I'll be missing him. Words can't expressed what me meant to me. I keep remembering the day the took my friend. I try to black it out but it plays again. Until the day we meet again, in my heart is where I'll keep you my friend. I still can't believe your gone. I hope one day in heaven you open up the gates for him. What a bond to break, what a life to take, every day I'll be missing you. Until the day we meet again, Rest in Peace My Friend.
RIP- John Cage.
