I am so sorry to hear of the death of John. The passing away of a loved one is always with much sorrow. May we have faith and confidence in the Bible’s promise of a time when pain, sickness and death are a thing of the past (Revelation 21:3, 4). My condolences are with the family at this difficult time.

John and I worked together at Wal-Mart. We became friends outside of work after he moved to another Wal-Mart and I went back to teaching. After I lost my sister last year John’s friendship and compassion helped me through. My sincerest condolences to John’s family. You all are in my prayers.
