No amount of words could express the depth of our hurt in the passing of John. He was like one of our sons. We cannot know how you must feel, but we do know that Jehovah will sustain you and grant you strength to get through this difficult time. Our love and our prayers are with you.

To Mrs Ella Giles, John Jr's wife and family, I extend love and very best wishes in the loss of your loved one. I didn't say sympathy, because sympathy weighs you down; but I did say love, because love lifts you up. Over the many years of knowing the Giles family, John's parents, the late Elder John Sr. and Ella have been a great souce of devoted friendship to my family. Ella always spoke so lovingly of her only child, John. Surely he will be greatly missed, but we can all take comfort in knowing we will see him again in the day of our Resurrection. May the peace and love of God abound in your lives today and always.

October 7, 2010

Our thoughts and prayers go out to friends and family. John will be missed. He was such a kind man.
