I am so saddened to hear of Pastor John's passing. He was a part of my life in such a special way. His joking around and his infectious smile always brought me happiness. He had this bright twinkle in his eye that would make any face light up in joy. I will never forget his joking around when he officiated our wedding and his laughter to help calm the wedding jitters. My heart pours out to the family and I am sending my deepest condolences to Diane and the boys. I pray for hope and strength for the Mawhirter family.
God's peace,
Kim and Bob Bolyard
and Collin too.
