Uncle John, Thank you for always going to visit my mom when I couldn't do it. I know she loved it when you would sing hymns with her. You will be missed by all! Now you can sing with Jesus!

Papaw John I miss you so much! I love you more than you would ever know! You slept the last week and a half of your life but you always responded when I came in there. I didnt get to talk to you much before you passed away but I loved seeing you everyday :) I already miss your stories, showing me everything you have done in your life and telling me the best things that I should do in life come from believing in God and he will lead me in the right track. I love the picture I picked out it...

I am so blessed to have gotten to know John and Peggy.. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. John was a good man and reminded me everyday God loved me the most and that I should think about the positive instead of the negative toward things... He blessed me by letting me know I was doing a great job and by helping me keep God first in my heart.. I will truely miss him..
