So sorry for this loss. His beloved wife, Elva Sanders Weatherford is my first cousin. John was a doting husband and took care of her in her own serious illness as best he could. Rest in peace Cousin John. Your beloved Elva will be well cared for with your daughter and her family in Maryland. Peace.

I am so sorry to hear about Dr. Weatherford. He was my dentist from age 6 til he retired. We were also neighbors in Briar meadow.

My mom and I send our condolences to Elva and the girls.

I always enjoyed sharing vacation photos when I came in for visits.

I am so sorry to hear that John passed away. He and Elva were friends and John was our dentist for 45 years. My condolences to the family-he talked about his children and grandchildren and we shared many stories. Will there be a service for him?

I am so sad to see this news. I was a patient of John´s for over 50 years...since I was a freshman in college. He was a lovely person and so loved his family. My deepest condolences.

Dear Elva, Little Elva, Melanie, Kendall and family,
I am so sorry for John and for all of you, hearing of his passing. What a grievous time for you. You are in my prayers.
I remember him as loving and very fun uncle, the few times we got to see him. I can still hear his laugh:)
I loved him right away, we all did. Jim of course, has always loved him dearly.
I believe you will come through this in time, with greater love and understanding in your lives.
May you experience God's peace that passes all understanding, in Christ Jesus.
God bless you all,
Much love,
Donna
