Dear Tonya,
We were so sorry to hear the sad news about your Daddy. We just want you to know we are very thankful to have known John. We were around him most when he was younger. I remember he liked to go camping, he always worked hard to provide for his family and he so loved you. He was always very kind to us and we always enjoyed our time spent with him at family gatherings. Please try to remember all of the happy times associated with your Daddy. Those happy times are memories that are yours to cherish. We love you bunches,
sweetie.
John, this is Glenda. I was your wife before Kathy. We had a beautiful daughter together. I still love you. You were not supposed to leave yet. Christie and I were not ready for you to leave and I am speaking to you in the authority of Jesus's name. Rise up and be healed and live! Come back and let us love you!!
Dad. This is your daughter Christie. I am so so sorry for the past. All I wanted is to try to make peace with you. I love you so much and I loved Kathy as well. You are with Jesus. And I believe we could have found ways to talk and reconnect. this was not the way I wanted to find out. I have already had my tears and frustrations. I wish u had let me know that you were In the hospital. The last few hours after I found out about your passing, the basketball goal you put up for me, the swing you put up for me, looking at those things makes me sad because those are things you put up with your own hands for me. Thank you for what you did when I was little. I was also thinking about the little Barbie car you and mom got for me and you would mow and I would follow you around on it. You may have your feelings about me coming to see you tomorrow but I want to because you are my father out of respect. You will be missed. Tomorrow I am saying my goodbyes. I love you! I will be speaking at your service.
