Not sure what to say?

Libby,
I have been keeping you in my prayers.

John,

My prayers go out to you and your family during this difficult time.

The happiest times I ever had were childhood Christmas vacations in Tallahassee. Dr. Grandpa and Grandma Lois were so welcoming and were the best grandparents anyone could ever ask for. I feel so blessed that he was my grandfather.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

John Sullenberger was not only a great physician, but a wonderful mentor to an aspiring kid in the mid '60's. I worked as an orderly at TMH while still a student at Leon when he and Dr. Bullard were together. I have fond memrories regarding his compassion, especially when his job was done and God took over. Dr. Sullenberger made a point to me regarding a failed attempt to rescue a gentle soul in distress during a special procedure event and I was the only one left in the room. John came back...

Lois, Laurie Ann, and Libby,

We are so sorry for your loss. Your neighbors at Grassroots Community are holding you in our thoughts and hearts.

I'm very soory to hear of Johns passing, I'm Gregory Pye just up the hill from the lake. I graduated with Kathy and John now living in South Carolina,Columbia. I love you'll and will keep you in my prayers.
Greg Pye and Family

John Sullenberger always treated me with great kindness and respect. Most fathers are protective of their daughters and not always crazy about the boys that come home. It took John a and I a while to get used to each other, and both of us being sports fans helped break the ice, as it often does with guys. I always respected him for his sense of humor and devotion to the practice of medicine.
John LOVED his grandchildren, and while he wasn't a "let's get down on the floor and play" type...

How lucky are we to have known Dr. Sullenberger. Kind, thoughtful, such a pleasent man. He had so many old Tallahassee stories. May we pray for and be blessed by even one of his many quailities. The earth will miss him while the heavens rejoice.
