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

Rhonda and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Pennie at this difficult time. I'm so glad that Duncan and I got to be a part of the benefit and were with you and John that night. Lots of great memories.
We Love You,
Duncan and Melissa.
I am so glad I finally read this. God bless you, my friend.
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 thoughts and prayers are with my dear sweet Aunt Rhonda and my cousin Pennie during this time of loss and of grief. I know he loved you both so very much. He always made sure to make everyone feel welcome and feel like they were part of the family. I loved him so and he will truly be missed by all the lives he touched.
May God bless and comfort each of you in John's passing. John was a wonderful man filled with love.
John will always be remembered and loved, as will you Rhonda! Until we meet again! All the love and prayers!
So sorry for your loss and may god be with the Family.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this time. God bless each and every one of you!
Pennie, I'm so sorry to hear about your Daddy. You are in our hearts and prayers
Prayers for you and your family.
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.
So sorry.....it is so hard I am lifting all of you up
Sorry for your loss he was a good man and husband friend as well
Pennie I will never forget how much fun we had staying at your dads and going to his work. The time we clipped coupons to go to liberty land and your dad and Rhonda made sure we got to go. He was a great dad and has wonderful amazing daughter that I know he is so proud of. your in my prayers and I will be with you in spirit during this difficult time.
May the Lord shower the family with love, comfort, peace and strength during this most difficult and challenging times... Love Keith and Debbie.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you , gods speed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you , gods speed.
Praying for all of you during this time. John is in heaven marveling at the promise God made and kept. One of my favorite songs, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE" continues to bless me when thinking of those gone before me and the amazing grace of God in releasing those in pain.
Condolences and prayers to Rhonda and family at John's passing. May wonderful memories of his life and the good times you shared together bring you happiness and peace.
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.
We can't be with you all in person, but our heartfelt prayers, love and our spirits will be...just like John's spirit is and will be always.
The circle won't be broken.
God Bless you all.
RIP Dear John... we love you. <3
