Pat, Laree, and Charles, Our condolences to you as we had no idea Uncle Jack was gone. We learned thru a Christmas card. I remember all the fun times with Uncle Jack and Aunt Janice that I had as a kid. The fun times we had at your house on Marine Street and 12th street. Those memories I will always have. Take special note that your Dad is no longer in any pain and is enjoying his reunion with your Mom. I love all of you and hope that some day we can all get together and share those wonderful memories. From your Cousin in Missouri, with Love, Charles

Mr. John Larkin, from my short time knowing him, was what every person should aspire to be. A human being in the truest sense. I was humbled at his send off today. Let Us Press On. Fly high, Mr. Larkin---and thanks for the drink!

John, it is an honor, privilege and blessing to call you my friend. You're the sweetest, most kindest, genuine man I have ever met, and I truly am grateful for your friendship over the years. We had such a great time together releasing positive vibrations into the world; thank you for recognizing that quality within me.

The last time we were together was at the birthday party you threw for my Mom, and we all had a great time. Thank you.

I didn't see you after that, but our best wishes and love we sent through Mom to each other when she saw you each week were blessings and memories I will also cherish.

Pat, Laree and Charles, take comfort that your wonderful dad is now in GOD's loving embrace and catching up with his parents, friends and, of course, your lovely Mom.
Love you guys......... GOD bless.

And John, we will meet again...... Until then, as I am on this earthly plane, I send from here all my Love, Light and continued Blessings.

Eternally, your friend,

Melody Thompson & Ora Thompson

PS. John, you know Mom loves you so much and enjoyed working for you over 30 years but, most importantly, loved that you were dear friends. She loves you guys so much and will always remain a part of your family, as will I.
