Condolences

  1. Sending our condolences to the family. God (Psalms 83:18) is the Creator of life. The Bible calls Jehovah God “the source of life.” (Psalm 36:9; Acts 17:24, 25) The One who gave life to all living creatures is certainly capable of restoring life to someone who has died. He has resurrected humans in the past on earth through his son Jesus Christ and he is eager to do it again. John 11:29-44; 1 Corinthians 15:26.

  2. John was a precious man with a quick whit and sharp blue eyes that caught everything! He was a joy to know and brought laughter and intellectual conversation to those he encountered. May he rest in peace and rise in glory! He is truly missed.

  3. He was a good friend to my patents and me.
    I use to like when he would come over and visit for New Years.
    Also use to love the Apricot and Rum Balls he made for the Holidays when he lived in Denton.
