Johnie & Melvin,
I am so sorry to hear about JW. I didn't find out about this until today. Bob and I thought the world of JW. He spent a couple of summers with us helping Bob with projects. We considered him family. He was always a kind, and very giving person. We will miss him greatly. Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. Bob & Tammy Young

Dear Johnie & Melvin,
I am so sorry to hear about the death of your son. As a parent that has lost a child my sympathies run deep. Melvin, I remember we used to joke about the cost of having a child in college, an how we would probably be working forever, he was the same age as Katie.
I hope you sincerely find peace in the memories you have. You are in my prayers and thoughts. God is with you.
Sincerely,
Debby Davis

J.W. brings me memories of more innocent day when the goal of the day was to laugh with each other. He will reside in my fondest memories. I am glad to have him there. In time there is a place where we will be children together again. My sympathies and heartfelt prayers go to his wonderful family.
