Our hearts ache knowing the suffering your family has endured. John was one of the finest and gentle person to have known. My cousin, my neighbor. Gods mercy was at his side when his suffering was quickened. Even if you dont see someone in a very long time...the memories are timeless..... like yesterday...Oh that day when we meet again on that beautiful shore with Our King!!!

Your father is in heaven
A place so far away , just know that the LORD will take good care of him each and every day
There will be no more pain to suffer & no more tears
Your father is in a place you need not fear , He will always be in your hearts , the feeling will not leave nor will it ever part . The angels will sing the harps will play ,We all wish the good LORD did not have to take your father away
Now don't you worry, dont you be afraid, the LORD will award him with so much praise.
And just know that loved ones will be waiting with open arms and protect him from any kind of harm
He was your father & a great man to have known...
But now it is his time to rest , and let the LORD take him home...
Lynnette & Wendy
Love you guys so much
