My heart goes out to you Carolyn, Katie and Michael, at this sad and difficult time. The world is a colder place without John in it...his smile and laugh and his big heart will be missed by so many people! He was a sweet man and Lorna and I were lucky to have him in our lives as our cousin....we loved him. You will all be in our prayers

Lois and I were so sorry to hear of John’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. God’s word says death is an enemy, and it certainly is. Reading Rev. 21:3, 4 and John 5:25 have always brought us comfort, and hopefully will do the same for you.
