Rosie and Family, John and I are deeply saddened at the passing of your Loved One and our dear Friend, John. He was such a Joy to know. John was so knowledgeable about so many things that it was just a Blessing to sit and talk with him from time to time. To think of walking into Lovejoy for 8 o'clock Worship Service and he not being there saddens us even more; however we do realize that " To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." And we know that John is now at Peace without pain and Resting in the Bosom of our Almighty God. We will see him again. May God render unto each of You Comfort and Peace at this most difficult Time. Love to You All.
