We didn't know that afternoon what sorrow the Day would bring the bitter grief and shock severe to part with the one we all loved so dear, no time to bid a last farewell no chance to say goodbye. John You were gone before we knew it and only God knows why. It broke Our Hearts to lose You John, but You did not go alone. For part of Us went with You The Day God called You Home. Although your Smile is gone Forever and your Hand We cannot touch, We will never lose the memories of the one we all loved so much. We hold You close within Our Hearts and there You will remain to be With Us throughout Our lives until We meet again. We love You John You will be very missed. Our Sympathy Bella and Family.xoxoxo All Our Love Dwayne & Sandy, Shantel, Tyler Schmidek
