I am already missing you greatly. I can't believe that God chose to take you home so soon, the rest of us here on earth were not ready to let you go. I'm glad I got to say my goodbyes to you while you were alive. I know Aunt Kay and Uncle John as well as Grandma and Grandpa were waiting for you with open arms. I love you and miss you, love Jeannette
John, Thank you for being a part of my life. We became friends in a work environment, and I am glad our friendship helped you further your professional goals. I shall miss your gentle goodness.
Rest in peace, Johnny. I know you fought a long and hard fight. Every time I called to talk to you you were always so positive. Going to miss hearing from you. Love to Bobby and Cherri.
I always admired your courage and how positive you were. Rest in peace
