His smile was so sincere, gentle and full of love. I'm doing my daily work, uplifted by the memory of Uncle John's smile and the thought of his voice, full of his confidence and joy in his Lord and Master, saying "See you on the other side!"

May God hold you in His loving hands

This is one of Annabel's favorites - seems appropriate for John. I pass it on with great sadness and great love.

Think…

Of stepping on a shore and finding it Heaven;
Of taking a hand and finding it God's hand;
Of breathing a new air and finding it Celestial air:
Of feeling a new life and finding it Immortality;
Of passing from storm and tempest to an unknown Calm;
Of wakening and finding it Home!
