Please accept my sympathy.
I met John thirty years ago when he was my boss at Eastern Michigan University. The first day I met him he made me feel welcomed and we were friends. He sincerely cared about his job and the way it was completed; the buildings he maintained were the best maintained on Campus. He cared about his workers. To sum it up: He was a good person and I am sincerely sad about his passing.

My friend John, Whenever I fish again, I will think of you. No matter how small the fish you always wanted them. Such great talks we had on the van! God bless and comfort the O'Banner family in their time of loss.

Uncle,
I will miss you greatly. I will never forget the times we had together. Especially when you would let me ride around with you when you would clean your cars back in the day. I refuse to forget the haircuts you gave me!!!! You also gave me my nickname "Bride",which we both know what it meant. Take care Uncle Bo. I know you are in a better place.
Love Cornell and Deliena Grantham and family.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...
