Our prayers go out to the family in the loss of such a great man of faith. I know that he is rejoicing as he is reunited with those who loved him deeply before going home in heaven. I know your hearts are sad but may our Lord wrap you in his peace knowing he is home. My life was touched in such a special way by both Bro. John and his precious wife Mrs. Joy who I know is playing a triumphant welcoming home on heavens organ.
