To Bill and Charlotte,
We have just learned of John's death and we are so sorry. We knew he was ill but thought he was doing better.
He will be missed terribly, but you can rest in knowing that you were a great blessing and comfort to him by preparing and delivering meals to him during his illness....and just by being there for him when he needed you. And, of course, that he was a Christian and is now at peace. May God richly bless you in return for all of your efforts and expressions of love.
Our hearts and prayers are with you during this difficult time of sadness.
We love you!

To the family & friends of John. I have known john for over 50 years and he was one of the true best friends that i ever had. I know that his family will alway think of him as a great man-Attorny & Father. I always tried to visit him each time that i came back to jackson. He always looked forward to the grapefruit & oranges that we brought to him each christmas. I will miss him dearly. My family will pray for him. I know that John was a god fearing man and a christan.
