Grandpa you will be missed. I do have some good memories of being at your place and when you came here to visit. I'm glad that you made that last trip because that's the only pictures I have of you and me and your great grandkids Nick and I think Alex too. Nick always calls you Grandpa John. We love and miss you and know that it was time for you to go home and be with the Lord. I know you and Dad will be watching down on us.
Your Granddaughter,
Kathy Prewitt
