Johnny, Mansie, Wanda, Sue and Anna I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. Growing up across the street from you all on Beggs Lane I thought Mr. Wheeler was the nicest man. I remember him laughing at an article in the PNJ about some pictures of some DC officials with Beatles hair. Prayers for you all!

Some bright morning when this life is over
I'll fly away
To that home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away

Love you PawPaw

I will always remember Mr. John with his sweet loving smile. I know he was welcomed into Heaven by my parents (Billy Mark and Carlynn Joseph). We lost a dear angel here, but Heaven gained one there. You will be missed. Prayers for the family.
