Dearest Linda, Angie, Colleen, John and family...

My heart aches for all of you, because I know how much you will miss him. As I grew up, I realized that Johnnie had the same mannerisms as his Dad and the same sense of humor, and his smile was infectious. All who had the honor of knowing him knew how important his family was to him and much he loved all of you!

He fought an incredible fight to beat his illness and although he lost that battle, he will remain the strength in each of you. May you find peace knowing he is now your Angel who will watch over you! God bless all of You!

Love,
Roe Cully
