IT is 27 years today since legend JOHN LENNON was tragically gunned down outside his New York apartment by crazed assassin David Chapman.
YOKO ONO has now requested that we remember her late husband’s passing at 11.15am with a moment of reflection.
She also suggests listening to BEATLES hit Imagine and reading her message at imaginepeace.com.
I’ll be doing it. Lennon was a lord.

I miss you, John. 27 years later, I still wish I could turn back the clock to the Summer of 1980. I remember everything - sharing our morning coffee, walking in the park together on a beautiful day, and seeing your hand stretched to mine - holding it, reassuring me that I shouldn't worry about anything because our life was good.

I had no idea that life was about to teach me the toughest lesson of all. I learned the intense pain of losing a loved one suddenly, without warning, and without having the time for a final hug and the chance to say, "I love you," for the last time. The pain and shock of that sudden loss is with me every moment of every day. When I touched John's side of our bed on the night of December 8th, 1980, I realized that it was still warm. That moment has haunted me for the past 27 years - and will stay with me forever.

Even harder for me is watching what was taken away from our beautiful boy, Sean.
He lives in silent anger over not having his Dad, whom he loved so much, around to share his life with. I know we are not alone. Our pain is one shared by many other families who are suffering as the victims of senseless violence. This pain has to stop.

Let's not waste the lives of those we have lost. Let's, together, make the world a place of love and joy and not a place of fear and anger. This day of John's passing has become more and more important for so many people around the world as the day to remember his message of Peace and Love and to do what each of us can to work on healing this planet we cherish.

Let's: Think Peace, Act Peace, and Spread Peace. John worked for it all his life.
He said, "there's no problem, only solutions." Remember, we are all together.
We can do it, we must. I love you!

Thinking peace and acting peace and spreading peace wouldn't have stopped this killing. This was a result of mental illness. Mental illness is the common thread in almost all these killings from Columbine to Virginia Tech to the Omaha Westroads mall this past week.

Learn to recognize the signs of mental illness in those close to you if you want to stop these killings. If someone close to you is mentally ill make sure they take their medicines.

It could have been 11:15 AM in the morning if you were stationed in Okinawa (like some of us), but of course that would have been on TUESDAY morning! PS. I still remember Jack Nicklaus winning his last Masters That Fine April Monday morning in 1986 and being late for my 6:30AM day shift!
