To John's Family
Our deepest sympathy on your loss, its been many years back but he was a good neighbor to us at Poplar Cove.
The Reed Family

From my childhood days, I grew up and was good friends with Amy and Tom. I also knew their dad Mr.John Sell.
When I was a kid carrying Mr Sells newspaper, I remember him always being a nice and generous man. He also took time to talk to me when I visited both Amy and Tom. Though, its been a long time since I have seen Amy and Tom, I still have fond memories of them and the Sell family.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you with my sincere condolences to your family.

Amy Lou & Thomas,

We came to know Uncle John through our friend Shanna. Uncle John as we called him as well allowed us to come to the lake house every summer. He always made us feel as family. Our little girl loved him as though he really was her uncle. He loved taking her out on the boat. He will be sorely missed.

Love,
Dwayne, Molly & Haley Shifflett

My sympathy and prayers go out to all the family. He will be missed by all that knew and loved him.
