Elder Eugster was my companion for a few months in Fayette Iowa. He told me how his sister had died from cancer on, or shortly after her mission. I had no idea he was preparing me for my youngest brother to die from cancer on his mission just a few years down the road. Elder Eugster was a fine missionary and friend. I wish him Fair Winds and Following Seas, and pray his family receives the peace of the Spirit Elder Eugster preached about with such conviction on the dusty streets of Fayette Iowa where he labored as my companion for the building up of the Kingdom of God.

Eugsters.
I am deeply saddened by the passing of John. I was taken by suprise when Jenni informed me. It's incredible how life changes so quickly. John was always a great friend to me. Always ready to lend a hand. Just as all of you have always done. I'm sure John will quickly pick up the work on in his newly appointed mission and that Christina is there showing him the ropes.
love and miss Y'all.

I am so saddened to hear of John's passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. It seems as though all of my memories of John are with my dad. Everytime I think of John I hear my dad teasing John.
