Rhonda I am so sorry that I did not know about John passing away until today 2/1/15. John was sort of quiet in school but he did love life if I remember right. I know how lost you will be without him. Please look to The Lord for His comfort. He will never leave you nor forsake you. I will be asking God to wrap His arms around you and his family.
Love you girl,
Linda Williams

To John’s family and friends; I am sorry for your loss: Jesus told us at Matthew 5:4 ‘… those who mourn… will be comforted’. Also the Bible tells us at John 5:28-29 that we have the hope to see our loved ones whom we have lost in death again.

My condolences to the family of my Uncle John, I am very sorry for your loss. He was like my second Dad in the summers when I visited as a little girl, I will always remember his smile and sitting on his shoulders at the amusement parks, he was a very gentle man. Even though he will be missed, he is now free of his body and not suffering anymore, he has a new home now and how glorious it must be! Love Teresa.

I am sorry for your loss Rhonda and Pennie. I also want to thank you Rhonda for you and John giving me such wonderful memories when I was young. I remember going down to Arkansas to visit and being too old for the kids, yet too young for the adults and not knowing where I fit in. You and John let me stay with you and always made things fun and made me feel like I fit in. I am sorry I never got the chance to tell him. I love you both very much.
