John Winstead

It's hard to believe in just a few days it will be a year that you have been gone. To me and so many other's it doesn't seem like it should be a year already. But I'm sure to your family it seems like a life time already. We all still love and miss you deeply. So much has happened in a year. Your grand babies are growing up so fast and beautiful. And you would be so very proud of Mrs. Carol, Shan, Allison and Courtney. They amazes us all on how they let God carer them and help make them...

John was so special to me. He had such a beautiful voice,so many assets, he was so humble. Great smile, I love this picture of him with his smile. You knew he was a Christian by the way he spread Gods love and his beautiful voice. I'm so proud I have a special ring he made for me with my mother's wedding rings. Sometimes I think of a song that I've heard John sing and I almost hear him singing it. Love you Carol, and your special children.

I just found out about John's passing today when I went into Jackson Jewelers. I was shocked and heartbroken. I left the store in tears, missing his smile and his wonderful laugh. On my way home, I heard "I Can Only Imagine" on K-Love, and it was as though God was telling me that He had John with him, and he was filling the heavens with that same wonderful laughter. We will miss him terribly, and will pray for peace for the Winstead family as they adjust to life here without him.

John was a great friend and jeweler. We were his loyal customers for all the years of Jackson Jewelers, and will continue to be customers in his memory. His was a devoted Christian and family that showed through everything in his life. Our hearfelt condolences to his family and the staff at Jackson Jewelers.

We are sorry to hear of the loss of John. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. John was a very kind and friendly person who always had a smile. We always enjoyed visiting and doing business with him at Jackson Jewelers. May your wonderful memories of John help you through this time of sorrow.

Another "diamond" has been added to the treasures in heaven.
He was a good friend.
In sympathy,
Walton Drane and family

I'm very sorry to hear of John's passing. He was such a wonderful man. I had been his customer for years but had not gotten a chance to get out to Flowood to the new store. That makes me sad. Please accept my sincere condolences. May the love and peace of Christ keep you all at this difficult time.
