Margaret, Marlisa, John Mark and Terisa,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of John, husband and father. I put all of you on our prayer list at church this morning for God to be with you tomorrow and in the upcoming days. I pray he wraps his ever comforting arms around you and somehow brings you the peace you need in this difficult time.##imported-begin##Retha Landtroop Peace##imported-end##

Dear Dad,
We watched you and prayed for you in the last days and moments of your life, we cried at your bedside when you left us. We stood at your casket today weeping. Mom loved you with all her heart Dad and I know you can see us from heaven. Most of all Dad we remembered things long forgotten. My little Kaiden asked me if you were running and jumping in heaven. I told him yes "pep" is running, jumping and not in that old bed anymore. My little Kaitlyn looks at me so excited and blurted out, Nanny I want to go with "pep". I bent down and told her not now baby but some day you will see "pep" again. The innocent little children make it so much easier to see life and death in the simplest of ways. I will see you again one day Dad. I Love You, Marlisa##imported-begin##Marlisa Carter##imported-end##
Pep, it is hard right here at Christmas but a good friend told me today that you are making it to Heaven for the biggest party of the year Jesus' birthday. I love you and this past week seeing you and being there as you took your last breath broke my heart I held your hand just minutes before and prayed for you and that you will be comfortable and go in peace. Mom told me you wanted a cross so we got you one to have with you to keep you safe, I prayed that it would ease your pain and us all being there for the first time in years was a blessing you gave us we are a family again and have each other to hold and comfort as we mourn you and celebrate your life we got to be a part of. It was such a serene moment when we knew you were gone to be with our Father in Heaven. Its hard to be strong, because I want to cry we are so blessed to have so many people that love us and have helped us be strong through all of this. You are missed and loved!##imported-begin##DonnaLynn Carter##imported-end##
