So very sorry to hear of John's passing. We were neighbors for a long time. Sadly we lost contact when we moved but thought of him often. John was a good man, neighbor and friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I am so sorry for your loss. I would like to share a promise that Jehovah God has made us in Revelation 21:3-4 states, And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. Very soon now, we will never experience losing our loved ones in death.
Gone too soon, Johnny. Thanks for good memories…
