I want to thank all of the family and friends that have prayed, loved, and comforted us during our loss of my grandfather.
Aunt Sissy, I love you so much. I am filled with sadness when I think of the grief that you and Kathy and the kids and little ones are going through. Uncle John was always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He touched so many people's lives and went above and beyond to help his family and all the strays they brought home. He wouldn't have been the man he was if it wasn't for you, your love and support in good times and bad. You are one of a kind and so was Uncle John. I am so glad I got to be part of y'alls life. You have taught me so much about life, love, forgiveness, happiness, and kindness. I love you my dear. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Claudia and Family, I wanted to again express my sympathy to you and your family for the loss of John. I so much enjoyed working with John throughout his years at Muncie. He was always so thoughtful and pleasant to work with. What a blessing to have been married to him for that number of years! You are in my prayers in the days ahead as you journey through your grief.
