While words fail to capture the pain of losing a loved one, we look forward to the time when words will fail to capture the joy of having our Heavenly Father return your dear one to you ". John 6:40

March 11, 2018

As a first cousin, I too share in the lost of John. However as a child of God I know that God does not make mistakes and that our loved one is free of pain and the troubles of this world. Let us not dwell on the fact that he no longer is, but that HE WAS. A great husband, father, brother, cousin and friend. To the family that I love, let us be strong in the Lord. He is our comfort in a time such as this.
