My Brother John is home.
I pray God gives peace and comfort to his family. He will forever be remembered in my heart ♥️. I’m so happy to have seen him before he went home to be with Jesus, his Lord and Savior! I also am grateful that we shared time together in his latter days and he shared his service in the USAF, and his many accolades given him by his superiors. It is priceless to me. Until we meet again John! Better known as “Jack” my entire adolescent life!
Mourning is for the living, as he is in Heaven now. 💔
Linda, Kim, Dawn, Denise and Austin and families, I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. There is truly nothing I can say that can make it any easier to lose a loved one but know that in time all your memories will be cherished forever. Only time can truly help this and it takes a lot of it. There was a time when you were all truly my extended family and I will always hold all of your dear in my heart. You will all be with John again in Heaven and he will now be your “Guardian Angel”. My love goes out of all of you. Know you are not alone in your grief. May God give you peace and comfort in your time of need. My sincere condolences go out to you all. Many are keeping you in their thoughts and prayers, I wish I could visit with you all but am not able to leave my home anymore. I will be with you in spirit. God Bless!
God Bless you Judi and Kenny.
Such kind words. John is home with his family, and we do get to see them again!! Mourning is for the living.
May God give you restoration!! He is the only one that knows the trials we face.
I find comfort in that.
Godspeed! ♥️🙏
I can’t believe I forgot to add in Brad, Mari and their family! I apologize, the phone rang and my brain just isn’t what it used to be. Please know that I am thinking and praying for you all as well! God Bless!
