I can´t believe it´s been eight years... Since that precious young man left us for the glories of heaven. I think about him so often in the impact he had in his short life. I think about the last time we saw him. We went for dinner with him and Chip and he ordered some sort of flaming dessert that was gargantuan! Baked Alaska maybe? Every year about this time my thoughts and prayers are with all of the Wiesie family. And I long for the day we will all be together again in heavenly realms. God´s grace and peace always.

JD is easily one of the greatest people I have been blessed by the Lord to meet. Whenever he entered a room, everyone's faces seemingly brightened and it was as if his presence made everything alright. It's not often that I get to meet somebody whose godliness is so apparent and abundant, JD truly reflected his faith in such a fantastic way. JD was one of the funniest, nicest, sweetest and most compassionate people I have ever met. JD is an inspiration and a role model, we all love and miss him dearly. But I am confident that he is with our Lord now. We will get to meet him again, may God help you in this time of grieving.
You all remain within my prayers, God bless you all.

Dearest Chip and Jane,
Upon our return to Stl we heard the devastating news about Your precious sons death. It is hard to grasp the depth of sorrow that your whole family is experiencing. We are so sorry.
When I think of the Wiese family I always think of your strong faith. JD always had a sparkle to him that resonated with all of us.
May you find comfort and solace knowing he was an angel on earth. We are better people for knowing him.
Love Fred and Gayle

Chip and Jane
I was saddened to hear about John David this morning. It's been many years since we've seen you or the kids but wanted to reach out and let you know people from all around the country are praying for your family. I've heard some wonderful things about your son from a classmate through friends all the way to Dallas. I'm pretty sure it's not possible to make Heaven a better place but Jesus has certainly welcomed his good and faithful servant home.

Dear Chip and Jane,
Few of us really know or understand what you are feeling. The enormous number of people that attended John D's funeral is indicative of the esteem in which you and your family are held by your friends and relatives. We have John's photo in our home as a reminder of what our off spring can be.
May his soul be eternal.

I met JD at the 10th grade bowling event before he started Westminster. His smile was a light in the room and his demeanor Godly. My son, his classmate, remembers his kindness to others. Thank you for sharing him with the Westminster family. His short presence made a beautiful and longing impact on so many. What a blessing! The Scharr family holds yours in thought and prayer.

Trying to comprehend why the Almighty would take such a young soul, placing myself in the parents' place; asking the question: Why? I never met J.D. but know he was a quality human being and God must know something we don't about J.D.'s overall purpose God has for him both in the past and eternity. That is the grace of physical death for all of us who totally trust God. My prayers are with you.
Isaiah 55 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
9 As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."

Dear precious Wiese family: I had the great privilege and joy of teaching John David and Christian, Daniel, and Elizabeth as they eagerly learned about the love of Jesus as their Savior and Lord. John David was gifted by the Lord playing the piano and sharing His word. The glory of God was seen in the Wiese family by all who knew them. We have sorrow now but we will all rejoice with him in heaven.

What a blessing to have had an opportunity to be called "Coach" by John David and to watch him enjoy playing basketball with friends. He was a gifted athlete and consummate teammate that demonstrated great sportsmanship and lit up the gymnasum with a wonderful smile. It is a rich grace gift from the Lord to have known John David and he will be missed by our family. May the Lord be comfort to his children as we wait for His return. Godspeed, Kevin and Beth Garrett & Family

Chip & Jane,
I was very sad to hear the news of John David. Please know I am praying for you and for the Lord to comfort you and your family during this most difficult time. I certainly remember John David as well as Elizabeth when I worked with Christian and Daniel about 5 years ago. He was probably about 10 at the time, but I'm sure his joyful spirit and friendliness has touched many lives since then.

February 5, 2016
Dear Chip, Jane and family,
Having just lost my son, Jesse, a few months ago, I can really feel what you are feeling. I am crying as I even write these words. Nothing is as bad as losing a child. You don't really cry for them because you know they are safe with God, but you cry for yourself because they were such a vital part of your lives. You can't imagine life without them and now you are faced to do just that. Please know that I am praying for all of you. Jane, if you need to talk to another mama who has had to send her son to heaven early, please contact me. Whenever I feel so sad that I don't know what to do, I just remind myself that because of what Jesus did, I will be with my sweet Jesse again and all will be right forever and forever. Keep holding on to the thought that you WILL see John David again. I'm sure that my Jesse has made a new friend and that he and John are praising God like they never did before. Much love, Cathy Mullins

My son only started again at Westminster this semester, and so didn't get to know JD well. Maybe inspired by having been "new" at Westminster himself so recently, JD went out of his way to be friendly and helpful to Liam during the first days. His gracious kindness will never be forgotten, and will stand in Liam's memory as a lesson in Godly character.

Every member of the team is hurting from the pain of your loss. Each of us wishes we could sooth and comfort this pain for you. We rely on the Lord "He heals the brokenhearted and binds their wounds" Psalm 147:3, knowing we could never be the comfort to you at this time that He can be. We remind ourselves to "Pray without ceasing" 1 Thessalonians 5:17 as we hold you up in our prayers, learning from the example that Chips guides us with.
Loving you and praying for your comfort,
