Uncle John...I remember those numerous Sunday's Mom & Dad packing the car and then loading us all up for the long trip to 1410 Legation Road! Of course it was only a few miles away...but to us kids it seemed so far away.
Those Sunday dinners that we all shared were very special. And always will be. God Bless.

Uncle John...I remember you so well...back when this life was so innocent. You were a true rock to all of us.

My sincerest love goes out to everyone. Uncle John was a very loving, caring, thoughtful man. I will always remember the fun times on Legation Rd. as a child. God bless you in your final journey.
Love......Mike Ray

Dear Family, it is my Prayer that the same comfort, trust and Faith your Father John had in Christ Jesus, you will have the same comfort, trust and peace.

My love, thoughts, and prayers of comfort are with you. May the following bring you comfort:
God Saw You...
by Unknown
God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped his arms around you,
and whispered, "Come to me".
You didn't deserve what you went through,
So He gave you rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best
And when I saw you sleeping,
So peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again.
May God Bless you with love,
Debbie Parnell

My condolences to the family for your loss. May the God of all comfort "without fail show you favor at the sound of your outcry; as soon as he hears it he will actually answer you." Isaiah 30:19 Soon God will swallow up death forever. There will be no more pain or sorrow.
