Mr. John was my father-in-law, and I knew him very well. He accepted me and respected the relationship that I have with his daughter Jennifer. I am grateful for that. I am sad to see him leave this world, but I know in my heart that he is at peace. That is what is important. I pray that his family will acquire peace in this time of grief and sadness, reminiscing on the good experiences and that love that Mr. John gave them. You have my sympathies, but you also have my love. God bless you all.

To John's extended family,
I knew John when I was a little girl because he was friends of my brothers. I remember his smile and the way he use to joke around with my brothers. I am at a lost for words to his children for their loss.
