Janice and family, Thank you for sharing John with us at LifeBridge as when I first came, John was there. John greeted me in such a lovely way, I knew I belonged there. John, everytime he saw me, assured me that he was happy to see me. He was special and a true gift. Thank you for sharing him with us. He enlarged our picture of the love of Christ.##imported-begin##Pamela Bell##imported-end##
I spent many weeks living with John and his family during the long, hot Texas summers. We picked cotten all summer long so we could make money to buy our school clothes. Mr. Leland and Miss Bonnie treated me like one of their own. When we got a little extra change we all went to the picture show in "downtown Chireno". My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and with John's family during this time of loss. My thoughts of John and his family fill my mind with good memories.##imported-begin##Preston ##imported-end##
John was one of the first to welcome us into the seniors class upon our relocation to Texas from California. We grew to love and appreciate his warm loving spirit and will miss him greatly. May the Lord comfort you in your loss Janice.##imported-begin##Don and Kathy Richmond##imported-end##
Mr. John as I called him was a very special mechanic/welder for TXU. I had the privilege of working with him for many years. He was one of my favorites - always friendly and a hard worker. My prayers go out to his family.........##imported-begin##Kirk Burleson##imported-end##
John and his family attended our church for a while. John was always caring, loving and supportive to our church and the members. John personally encouraged me on several occasions. John was a sincere and passionate believer of Jesus Christ. We are praying for your family.##imported-begin##Pastor Tom McDaniels##imported-end##
I speak for all the 49'ers class who were privileged to get to know John in a special way. He was a model ambassador for the love of Christ. He will be missed; but is no doubt in the Lord's presence.
May God Comfort you and your family as only He can.

Janice & Family,
Jim & I are so sorry to hear about John. Our hearts ache for you and the loss of a great man. We got the privilege of meeting John in a class at LifeBridge. He was quiet and soft spoken, but with Godly wisdom and character. He shared his testimony in that class and we got to see where he had been and how far he had come. We rejoice that he is with the Lord, but grieve on earth for his loss. Can't wait to shake his hand again in heaven. We pray that God's peace will carry you through the days to come and that he will comfort you when you need it the most.##imported-begin##Jim & Brenda Cash##imported-end##
