Revelation 21:4
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."

Be glad that he is at peace with no more suffering, illness, and pain. Each day, your memories will grow until they are bigger than life itself. Each day will yield new lessons learned and new possibilities because of the strength and love your life together fostered.

Lee Ann -
After John's passing, I have been thinking of you quite often. We are never ready for these moments in life, its never a good time for them. But its not really our plan at work. I know that your friends and family will help you through this particularly difficult time. I send you thoughts of peace with the hopes that they may find you and be of some comfort.

Throughout the years of knowing his older brother, Michael, I was able know about their passion for great cars of the past. Along with that he shared his pride of having such a great brother, his hero. After hearing about John's accomplishments and achievements, I am only sorry I never had the opportunity to meet him and his family in person. My family will continue to pray for John and his family. Thanks again Michael for sharing those precious memories, I only wished I would have been there to turn a wrench with you guys. GOD Bless us all. Sincerely yours the Ballin family.
