Im very sorry to read the passing of your beloved John. Please accept my sincere condolences. I have personally felt comforted by the promise made by God of bringing back to life those who sleep in death (1 Thes. 4:14). So be assured that youll be able to hug, kiss and talk to John again. He will come back into an Earth free of suffering, sickness and anything that causes us to shed tears of pain (Rev. 21:4). This hope is both sure and firm because Jehovah God cannot lie (Heb. 6:18; Titus 1:2). Is my sincere desire that you can also find comfort in this words during this difficult time for you.

I was so sorry to hear about John's passing. I will miss visiting him just about every week to see how he was getting along. We would talk about everything from politics to baseball which he greatly enjoyed. John was always content and never let anything bother him. He will be surely missed.

I remember the first time I meant him, I was to go put his Ted hose on. John was pretending to be a sleep and I went up to him and he said boo and he scared the hell out of me and he laughed and said we are going to be friends forever. I'm sorry to hear that John has passed away and to his family my prayers and thoughts are with you all. John will always hold a special place in my ?
