Love and prayers for you Sarah and the family! I will always remember teaching Johnny how to dance! He always remember that in our growing up! We had so many good times together! I would have like to come to the services but my health won't let me! I will always remember talking to Johnny on Facebook and when he found out what he was going to be facing and remembering sending prayers for him and you and he told me that he had lived a good life and he was happy! I know you were that part of his happiness and the few years you guys had together was so special to him! I live a block away from where he grew up and it will always be the Bollinger house! Love and prayers sweet lady!

A very fine man with a great sense of humor and a desire to see justice and fairness in the world. Wish I had gotten to know John sooner in life!

Gone to a just reward.
