John's Family, We knew John when he worked with us at Wachovia many years ago and remember his warm and friendly personality. Regardless of age, health, or any other circumstance we are never ready to lose our loved ones. The only comfort has to come from our Faith in the Sovereignty of God and the manifested concern of caring friends. We hope in some small way it helps to know that others do care. Joe Clark
