I first met Roy when he was volunteering his talents to our community by overseeing the construction of the Pointe. I had no idea that he would touch my life in the future in a very personal way.
We first attended St. John Church in May, 2010 with our daughter and grandchildren. By the end of June, I knew this was the church I had been searching for. What a perfect time to be a part of St. John, because I was diagnosed with breast cancer in December.
St. John was a significant...

I'm sorry to hear of your loss but know you have the comfort of Jesus that you will be with your dad again. The picture you have shared speaks volumes of his character. May God bless you and you family with grace and mercy in this time of saddness.
