Pat, I was saddened to learn of the passing of J.P. I know you and your family will miss him tremendously.
I remember all of the good times we had with J.P and Buster on Sunday nights at Church at our MYF meetings and going on the hayrides down the country roads.
J.P. is with the Lord in his heavenly home now. May the Lord bless you and your family and give you strength during the coming days. Much love - Lois Little Dills

Dear Pat and Family: I was saddened to learn of the passing of J.P. I know you and your family will miss him tremendously.
I remember all of the wonderful times we all shared together with J.P. and Buster on Sunday evenings at the church at our MYF meetings. We also had so many great times on the hayrides down Leesville Road and the other country roads and collecting for UNICEIF.
May the Lord put his arms around you and know that J.P. is in a peaceful and heavenly home.
Much love, Lois Little Dills
