I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, I understand how hard it is to let go of the people we love. May your heart be filled with your wonderful memories of John and his greatness to you and all.

The Bargen families - lives well lived....in part because of the faith and character of John in his roles as father, husband, businessman and leader. Many people have been encouraged by spending time at Cedar Springs. May the blessings continue.

Thank you John for your faithfulness of heart. Meredith & Steve Moyer

John's life is a testimony to God's providence and personal love for us. His faithfulness to his Lord, his community and his family has produced a beauty even greater than his incredible gardens. Condolences to all his loved ones.

Our hearts are saddened by your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with your family. May your precious memories of your time together help with the pain. May God comfort your hearts and give you peace. 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17

How we love this man of God who extended his hand of love to us, a missionary family. His smile and cheerfulness was always a joy to be with. Well done thy good and faithful steward of God. Thanks for blessing our lives! We have so many good memories. Love and prayers to you Jeannie and all the family.
