There are no words that could describe a man who has written his own life's story. John had an uplifting spirit and a dance like no other. John was a hard worker and would do anything you asked him to do. I'm thankful for the short time I had gotten to know him and he will truly be missed.

You weren't my blood relative, but I called you Uncle Johnny too. It has been a pleasure getting to know you over the years. I am definitely going to miss you at the family gatherings, the laughing, the food, the jokes, you dancing. This just doesn't seem real.

Jesus said'And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.Just like He said He would He came but after Johnnie.We know that weeping will only endure for a night, but joy will come in the morning. Love you Johnnie Aunt Dorothy.
