“John was a very good man. His was kind and loving and very proud of Lorrie Ann and Kevin. He was a Deacon who served at his church. He told me his Faith and experiences at church helped him during the time when he had to face illness and seperation from family and the end of his life. He is surely resting in God's presence.
