To everybody who has written in this book I want to thank you all.
And to everyone that has written in this book you are all right with who our parent were to everyone. They not only were a friend to alot of people but, they were also vary special parents to Me and my Brothers and Sister.
They never thought about themselves, but only of there kids, grandkids, nices and nephew who they loved dearly. My parents will be missed but, never forgotten in our hearts. And to all of the family and friends thank you also for the support that you have given us through this time of need. And to all of the Harley rides out here I thank you as well, I wish they could be here for the toy run and also the toys for tots that they did ever year about to come up. They wouldn't have missed it for the world. And please don't ever forget who our parents were because I know that they will never forget you.

My family and I send our condolences and deepest sympathies to your family. Getting through the holidays can be difficult enough without having lost people that mean so much to so many. My heart goes out to all of you for your loss.
I met John many years ago...and I was once a Creasman, too. My daughter heard about the accident and called to find out if she were related, and of course I had to tell her yes. I confirmed the relationship, she is related through Pete Creasman (her father), she actually thought she may have met him in Andrews or Murphy, NC as she spent many summers there. Not that any of that is important, now. Just wish we had kept in contact over the years. We enjoyed ourselves the few times we all hung out. Even back then you knew he was a genuinely good person. May God help you to find comfort. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

To my cousin, Johnny, and Nancy,
We are shocked, saddened, and utterly devastated over this tragic loss. All the hopes and dreams that we had for the future are gone forever. We will, however, never forget all the GREAT times that we did have together... the barbeques, parties, weddings, graduations and our 25th anniversary. You guys knew how to do it up! As a friend, family member, and business partner, Mike will never be able to replace you, Johnny. Both you and Nancy were the most generous people that we knew and you will be missed tremendously. We love you both. Rest in Peace.

Robert,
Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with you and your siblings. This tragedy makes us all question Why? What can I do? Why them? Why now? Why me? No one knows the answers. No one knows the reason. We just have to trust in God that He knows the answer to why people so dear to us are taken so much before their time. I want you to know that you are not alone. I lost my brother a year ago, and the other brother four years before that, and my dad four years before him. I will never understand it. But I will always trust God regardless of what goes on around me. God does have a plan for you! Your parents are in a better place.
All our love
Andrew,Dawn,Dustin & Grammy,
Meeko,Angel,Chino,George, and Zeus
P.S.
Robert you are always welcome to stay with us when ever the need.

The services were lovely yesterday, with the place overflowing. John and Nancy would have loved it. Our love and prayers go out to everyone whose heart they touched. I started to cry when John's friends from CJ's gave them a Harley tribute (revving up their engines) when they left. We will deeply miss them.

My father always told me if you can count five good friends on one hand when you die then you are a very lucky person. I lost two of those friends this week. The gifts they gave me were unconditional love, friendship, and support. The icing was all the laughter we shared through the years. I love you, miss you and I will see you when my chores are done.

My sister and brother-in-law were very close to John for many years. I knew John but not as well. This goes out for my sister Jeanie Filibeck and brother-in-law Terry Filibeck who are heartbroken over this tragedy. Terry had seen John Sunday after many years of not seeing each other. The next day John died. We are totally devestated and he will be missed so much. We didn't know Nancy but knowing she was a big part of John's life, we will miss her also. Our deepest sympathy goes out to their families and especially the children. God speed and give you all peace during this most difficult time.

John & Nancy,
My sympathy goes out your family's. I have known John since he was born, because I was a member of the Creasman family at the time. I got to know Nancy at her and John's wedding. What a wonderful couple. John(we called him Johnny) treated me like I was his mother. He never failed to say hi to me when I called my daughter's house and he was there. He is the first cousin of my daughter (Tammy and son Dean).
They grew up together.
May you rest in peace.

All the Creasman's and Sleap's,
I am so sorry for your loss, they both were really great people. They will be missed very much, but never ever forgotten. I can almost hear nancy's laugh or see johnny's smile. They were always so kind to me, and took all of us in as if we were part of the family. My prayers are with you guys. I can say that Michelle & Mike and Melissa are all included in that statement.
Paula Teixeira

I want to express my condolances to the Creasman and Sleap families. I am very truly sorry for your loss. My son Sam loves the Creasman family and he know's Christine from Atlantic High and when he hurts, I also hurt. I too ride a motorcycle with my husband and perhaps we've passed John and Nancy on the road before. We've taken the route they ride more than once. And I know that Harley riders are the friendliest....I will be praying for God's peace on the family right now. And again, I'm sorry for your loss.
