LET GO AND LET GOD

When you're troubled and worried and sick at heart
And yours plans are upset and your world falls apart,
Remember God's ready and waiting to share
The burden you find much too heavy to bear____
So with faith, "let go" and "let God" lead the way
Into a brighter and less troubled day.

I wish that I could take away some of the pain, but only God can do that. Just know that I am here for...

To the family,
Mr. Wiggins was my Mathematics Instructor at Edward Waters College. He would always encourage me to do great things. Over the years whenever I would see him, he would ask me, "Are you teaching yet?, you would be great at it." I would shrug and say humbly "No sir, not yet". His response would be, "think about it". Last year I became a teacher at Raines High School and when I told him he just smiled and said "I told you to do that 10 years ago." That memory will stay with...

Barbara,
I was saddened to hear of your loss. Jean and I were out of the Country during that time. John was such a good guy and always willing to help someone. May you and your family be comforted knowing he is having a good conversation with our Lord and getting his point over to him. Keep the faith.

Nolan and Jean

We don't know how nor do we know when, but God will make your heart merry again. We thank Him for the precious memories of a special man, sent from God for a special mission, and when the task was completed, he returned to base. May we all strive to emulate such a life as that of our classmate, John.

Love,
June Marie Buggs and Mary Helen Frost, New Stanton Class of 1959.

Mrs. Wiggins, Anita, John Jr., & William, Perhaps one day you will understand why God decided to take John Sr.'s hand and lead him into Heaven above surrounded by his tender love. But until then just remember that God is always with you.

TO THE WIGGINS FAMILY,OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND WE PRAY CONTINUOUS BLESSING UPON YOU.

Dear Barbara and Family,
John helped me so much with my cranky automibiles and mostly with his sunshine-y presence. He is one of the first people I met on moving to Jacksonville, and still one of the most loved. I will hold you all close in my heart as we wait and pray for time to lessen the shock and pain of his leaving, and I am looking forward to helping carry forward his work at Horizons.
