Mr. & Mrs Labossiere,
I am very saddened by the news that reached me just last night through a very good friend of mine Jake Clayton.
John was a very good man and a very good friend. He & I went to Lake Stevens High School together and then I moved to Tallahassee, Florida, where he came to visit me when he was in Jacksonville, North Carolina. Your son had such a good heart; and he always strived to go the extra mile in all that he did. May the Father in Heaven give you rest and peace in the Name of our Messiah Jesus Christ, Aman.

Im sad to hear the news of John's passing. I will always remember playing soccer with him while we were young. The last time i saw John was in Seattle when he was signing up for the Marines, and I was signing up for the Army. My thoughts and prayers are with your family through this time of sorrow. Keep your chin up and remember the good times, he will always live on in our hearts.

Phil and Marcia,
I'm so glad Sue could fly out there to support you this weekend.
I've relived the events of April 10 - 13, 1983 very often over the past week ... I thank God so much for the gift of your friendship throughout the years.
Call me any time if you want or need to talk. Very much looking forward to spending some time with you after Thanksgiving.

Phil & Marcia,
I don't know if you remember me or not, but we were acquainted during your time at 1st Covenant Church. John was just a little boy when I saw him last. My daughter, Nancy, remembers babysitting for your boys.
I am so saddened at your loss. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. I pray that God will give you His strength through the days and weeks ahead.
God bless John for his 3 tours of duty in Iraq. He was an American hero! Now he is safely resting in the arms of Jesus! May you find comfort in knowing that.
