Dear Mr. & Mrs. Wilson & Family,

John was a cherished gift, a true friend. His beliefs and strong convictions have touched and changed lives. We will always hold John near and dear to our hearts and souls. We can't comprehend why this has happened and we don't question it. We just know that John is forever in our hearts and watching over us. He will be forever missed...There is an old saying " If you have a few good friends and family you've got everything in life", John was that good friend.

John carried with him always the quiet joy of a humble saint. I am grateful to have known him.

Although my heart is full of sorrow, I rejoice in the hope of seeing John again in Glory, through the mercy of Jesus.

Members of the Wilson family, please accept my condolences.
