JT was loved by everyone he ever met. Jovial, gracious and loving are words that come to mind right away. I am grateful to have known him and been a witness to his powerful presence in this life. I can only imagine how powerful his presence is now in Heaven!

JT was the best father-in-law and grandfather anyone could ever hope for. He was so loving, kind, and supportive over the years. We were given a beautiful gift from God when JT was created, and he enriched our lives. I will miss him so much, but I look forward to being reunited with him and all my other loved ones in Heaven one day. Thank you, Lord, for the life of JT, and our opportunity to be a part of his family.
