Ann-

May the sorrow in the loss of your father be just one step in the grief process that will take you and your family one day to the joy of his painless everlasting abundant life in heaven.



Fathers are never gone, and their voices are never silent, though I admit there are days I miss a hug tremendously.



I hope you will find comfort in the many memories that no one can take away.



Love, Susan

Our condolences go out to all the family and friends of John. He was quite a gentleman and I will remember him and his love of singing. We met John about a year ago through Myrna Jones. He left a big impression in our hearts.

I met John a year ago through my mother, Myrna Jones. I immediately sensed his warm heart, his kindess and his love of life. My life was enriched just by the very brief time I spent with him and my sympathy and prayers go out to his children, family and friends.
