John was a customer of ours, Osman's Greenhouse. He would come in and go threw all of the houses to see what he would like to pick out to take home. We could tell that he liked his flowers. He was a great person to visit with. We are sorry for the lost of your loved one.

Dear Billie, Bobbie & Johnnie: Our deepest, deepest sympathies to you and the family. Still cannot belief that John is no longer with you/us. We understand your loss and shock. We pray that you, Billie, and the girls will be sustained with the help of God. We have discussed trying to make it to the funeral but don't belief we should try it since it is quite a drive and our health is not good for a long ride. However, our thoughts and prayers are with you and our love to all. Uncle Albert and Aunt Adeline

Billie, Bobbie, Johnnie, Skylar, Samantha and Shelby we were greatly saddened by the news about John. Our prayers are with you during this difficult time. Found a poem that seemed very fitting though; I will attach it below. Take care and know that we are praying for your family. "Words from an Angel" I have not turned my back on you, So there is no need to cry. I'm watching you from heaven, Just beyond the morning sky. I've seen you almost fall apart When you could barely stand. I asked the Lord to comfort you, And watched Him take your hand. He told me you are in more pain, Than I could ever be. He wiped his eyes and swallowed hard, Then gave your hand to me. Although you may not feel my hand Or see me by your side I've whispered that I love you While I wiped each tear you cried, So please try not to ache for me We'll meet again one day Beyond the dark and stormy sky A rainbow lights the way.
