John, to me, was a lot like his Dad in different ways. Smiling, and doing his own thing.

Ann and Family

We would just like to send our condolence to you and your family. We had the wonderful opportunity through Megan, Shereen, Mike and Anthony to meet John. He was very kind to all of us and we will miss his smile and candy treats. Know that the basketball games are not the same with out the two of you, and we will keep you in our prayers. We know that this is a very difficult time, but know that you have many friends and family to rely on for love and support. If you need anything don't hesitate to let us know. God rest John's soul until we meet him again in the glory of Christ's Love.

Love,

Chris Laura Alexis Olivia Eliza and Ian Parsons
