John and Ginny,
We are so heart-broken to learn about the loss of JC. We will always remember him as that cute little boy with that mischievous gleam in his eye and big smile running around Melrose in shorts and barefooted. He was able to pack more living into his shortened life than most and was fortunate to have such a loving family and friends. We will never forget him or our times together. You will be in our thoughts and prayers and I hope you will be comforted by your faith and the many wonderful memories shared with him. He will remain in all of our hearts forever.
With all of our love,
Stephen and Amy Sims and family

John and Ginny, I was so sorry to read about the death of your son, John, III. I have a grandson his age and can imagine the feeling of loss his death would bring. You and your family are in my prayers and I hope that God's greatest comfort will be with you during these days.

As sad as I am that JC's life wasn't near as long on earth as it should have been, his life was FULL! He was loved like no other and lived each day like it was his last. What a gift. His energy, smile and laugh will be truly missed. What a ray of sunshine heaven just received. Love love
