My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family of John. I did not know him personally, but knowing his sister, Rebecca, I am sure he is a wonderful, thoughtful, caring, God-Filled person. We are all children waiting to go home to be with our Father. John would not want you to shed tears, but to rejoice in his life. Smile, do not cry, for he is smiling down upon each and every one of us, a friend
