To the Faison family: (Jackson, TN) and Vicki and Johnathan. We,the Cruse family, are deeply saddened by the loss of John. Our relative, Jimmy Cruse,Jr. was a longtime friend of John, extending from the early years when John resided in Jackson. Jimmy and John were telephone companions for many years until Jimmy's death last year. Jimmy often spoke of how John expressed his love for his family. He shared happy memories of the joy that Vicki and Johnathan brought into his life. Johnathan was his pride and joy. We pray that God will bless each one of you in this time of sorrow.
