I have fond recollections of John. He entertained us at my mother's wedding reception. I remember his broad smile as he played and we danced. My deepest condolences to his wonderful wife Helena and his children.

A long, long time ago, I played a dance job with John Hughes. One gig. 60 years ago? 70? Pittsburgh? Washington, PA? Two things I can tell you. John Hughes was a great guy. And rarely does one enjoy the solidity of a collaboration with such a worthy musician. I send heartfelt condolences to John's loving family.

Dear Mrs Hughes
My sincere condolences to you. My family and I feel we lost a special friend with John's passing. In the 24 years I lived there, not a single important party at the Chatham president's home happened that was not graced by John's talent, warmth and joy. He made a great difference time after time and will be missed.

Maestro John Wesley Hughes,
Today and Everyday in Our Minds and Our Hearts....

We Join the Angels In Heaven and On EarthHeart. We Promise We Will Play Your Songs, Dance to Your Melodies and Sow Your Seeds of Light and Love!

Beloved Radiant ONES,

Let Us Still Our Minds and Our Hearts! Now Breathe and Exhale Many Times...

Just as trees, flowers and all living things; we are all born from the Seeds of Light and Love.

Even when our bodies are frail, our Hearts grow strong when nurtured with Love.

Some of us stay here for many years, share wisdom with many others, and learn great lessons.

Others stay only a short time but their Love guides and gives us courage, strength and new purpose. Through them we learn what it is to be happy even when we are very sad!

We learn to support and nurture eachother and share our special moments.

Hopefully we learn quickly to say what is in our hearts and to Live With No Regret--- because sometimes we are asked to offer our tender goodbyes when we just became comfortable and said a Loving hello!

And Yes, it is true...

Every beautiful flower will wilt and return to the Earth.

And strong trees may fall in a storm and die.

But the Roots of Love are Eternal and can remain and blossom in our minds and our hearts throughout All Time in the Circle of Life and Love!

For Maestro John Wesley Hughes, and All Those Whom We Love That Have Left This Earth, We Call Your Names, and Allow the Memory of Grace In Your Spirits to Help Us Live with Hope.

We Lovingly Call Your Names and Re-Member Your Laughter, Your Joy, Your Wisdom, Your Precious Life Journeys, and Your Love.

Maestro John Wesley Hughes,
Today and Everyday in Our Minds and Our Hearts....

We Join the Angels In Heaven and On EarthHeart.

We Promise We Will Play Your Songs, Dance to Your Melodies and Sow Your Seeds of Light and Love!

With Much Love,
Rev. Melony McGant and Mother, Betty J. Tilman
