Dear Trude, Your John was so very special and he was a great witness for Christ. We already miss him sitting behind us at church each Sunday. We know you feel an emptyness without his physical presence and so do those who knew him. May God keep you in His care and minister to you in the days ahead. Love and prayers....

Growing up 2 doors down from the Gray's was a real pleasure. Mr Gray ALWAYS greeted me with a jolly Hello Scott! He was a great man and someone who I looked up to and admired my entire life. A fine example on how to live your life.
