In John-Johns Greatest Gift, the author poetically predicts what happens after John F. Kennedy, Jr., his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and her sister, Lauren Bessette, crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on the fateful evening of July 16, 1999. Immediately after the crash, John F. Kennedy, Jr., or John-John, as he was commonly called when he was a young child, suddenly yet joyfully reunites with some of his Kennedy relatives who have preceded him in death. At first, John-John is too shocked to comprehend and appreciate everything that is taking place. Eventually, John-Johns initial shock subsides, and he realizes what has happened; John-John, his wife, and her sister have left the physical world and entered the kingdom of God, where they will remain forever. John-Johns Greatest Gift was composed on the evening of July 22, 1999. Earlier that day, John-John, Carolyn, and Lauren were buried at sea in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Marthas Vineyard.

Six White Horses, by Candy Geer, poetically narrates the events of the funeral procession of John-Johns father, the late President John F.
