Dorcas Tackmier wrote a sympathy message

“Dear Phoebe and family, God bless you as you celebrate John's life today in worship. He was such a passionate disciple of Christ that I can imagine the gusto with which he is praising Jesus today. John always saw Jesus so clearly with the eyes of faith through the Scriptures. Now he sees him visibly, and all his longing to be with Jesus is fulfilled. May God comfort you in this time when you must wait to see John again, and to see Jesus! Bill and Dorcas Tackmier, Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary”
