I just found out about the loss of John. I am louises daughter, Carol. My mother and johns grandmother, Jewel, were sisters. I spent many hours with my cousin, Nan and her two little boys, John and his brother Steve when the boys were small. I remember the sweet little blond boy that John was and the patience he always had with his brother. Once when Steve put him in the clothes dryer he came in with his hair sticking out all over and said Stevie made me go whirla whirla. Im grateful I got a short visit with him and Nan several years ago. The smile never changed. You will be missed, dear John, Rest In Peace. Love carol

To the family and friends: 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.
