Not sure what to say?

It seems like only yesterday we laughing and sitting out by the pool. You had your gomer pile hat on and telling me some news story you had been listening to and about a fruit I had never heard of. You were the real deal the best dad. The best papa; best friend and the cup runeth over because you gave that quality to you daughter and she gave it to her daughter and sons. That´s what makes the world more better and that´s all you ever wanted was a better world. I miss you but I literally hear...

You always had a smile which gave me one,you always had something intelligent and smart to tell me, and I loved you like a best friend and respected you like a father! I'm a better person for knowing you!!! I think about you everyday i get up and see the picture of us by the tree, while I was admiring your hair.

Dearest Lemmon Family, John was such a great guy. I only just discovered that he has died. We were roommates together along with Dave Low in Berkeley CA on (appropriately named) Halcyon Court. John and I went to a memorable Pavoratti free concert in Golden Gate park that we both always reminisced about. He was always there to pick up my spirits when I wondered if CA was right for me. He loved his wife and daughter. He's missed. Love and Peace, Matthew LaPierre

Loving thoughts to the Lemmon family. We had the privilege of meeting John and his grandchildren when we moved to Homewood 6years ago. John brought the kids over for the neighborhood Halloween party and our paths kept crossing. What a kind soul.
Peace to his family.


Please accept my sincere condolences. I know firsthand how it feels. It hurts; the equivalent to losing half of your heart. But I received comfort from knowing that God is a "God of comfort and tender mercies" and he is there for anyone who calls on him. Because of that, I received so much comfort and I know you will too.

I am so sorry for your loss. May you find some comfort and peace in God's promise to bind up the broken hearted and to help you endure this difficult time. Isa.61:1

To the Lemmon Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

To Alice, Taylor, Trey, and Katie,

I know dad was proud to have you with him, but would not have chosen that task for you guys. He spent his life with his passion and that was with his family and I know he was a happy man in doing so. Katie, you are and always will be, out very special daughter. I love you all and I'm here whenever you need me. I'm 5 minutes away.

Love,
Mom & Grandmama

Your spirit burns on!
