Life is the greatest gift that God has given us. Death is only a bridge towards eternal life with God. Certainly heaven is rejoicing for another soul and he has finally reached his true home.

Although no words can really help to ease the loss that you bear. Just know that you very close in every thought and prayer.

John will be missed tremendously, but the memories will live on forever. Our Deepest Condolences...

GOD is our refuge and strength, an ever- present help in times of trouble. Psalm 46:1

I remember my eight year old nephew took to John immediately. If we were crossing a street and he had to hold an adult's hand, he made sure it was John's. If we sat in the shade, he positioned himself next to John. John was always patient and kind to him--I remember being grateful at these moments. I am still grateful that we had the chance to know John. He will be missed.
