God looked around his garden
And He found an empty place.
And then He looked down upon the earth,
And saw your tired face.

He put His arms around you,
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering,
He knew you were in pain,
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough,
And the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered"Peace be thine."

It broke our hearts to lose you .
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

To the Rival Family: I'm very sorry for your loss. John, Fran and all of you were wonderful "across the street neighbors" for many years. My parents enjoyed many good times with John and Fran. John always had a big smile and warm greeting for all. My prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Mr Rival was always very kind when I use to hang out at his house. My Dad and he were good friends for a long time. They are together again keeping it lively in heaven. Praying for strength and peace for your family..

To The Rival Family,

We're very sorry for your loss. John was a great man. He was loved by many people and will be missed tremendously. Tycody thought a lot of him. He said he wanted to be just like Uncle John and Uncle Tom. He dreamed of being a fireman.

To the Rival family,
I live in Port Saint Lucie FL and I had the pleasure of meeting your dad about 3 years ago with John Tuller. Your father was such a gentlemen, and a pleasure to be around. John always had a smile from ear to ear and made everyone feel special, actually he was the special one. Even after he got sick he never let anyone really know.
I know he is at pease with his Frances.I am glad that I was able to enjoy the wonderful person he was.

James, Claudette, Austin, Maddie and the rest of your family,
We are so sorry for the loss of your grandfather. He was a very special man. I remember when you guys were getting married and we were over decorating the hall, your grandfather was in charge and made sure everything was done and afterwards with clean up, he was right there with the rest of us to get the job done in no time. He will be greatly missed. If you or your family need anything please let us know.
Love,
Bob, Melissa, Pat, Lauren and Leigh Risley
