He was a very nice and pleasant neighbor that I enjoyed talking with. I would go across the street and visit with him frequently. He always enjoyed working in his flower beds. He really did have a green thumb. I know that he is with his wife and two of their children in Heaven. He was the Bedt neighbor I ever had.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

We have lost a very dear friend and neighbor. Many hours were spent drinking coffee in the afternoons on Tanglebriar. World problems were solved. Baseball games were discussed. There are some people you meet in life that leave a special place in your heart. John and Mildred were those people. Praying for God's grace and comfort for John's family. All our love, Ray & Maudie
