Sherry and family,
I am so sorry to hear of John's passing. I pray that God will give you peace and comfort during this difficult time. John was such a nice man and always had a kind word when I would see him. He will be missed.
John (will always be David to me) and I have been neighbors and friends probably since we both were able to crawl or walk. His family was good, kind and humble people. I can remember as a little kid standing on a chair and his mother teaching me how to iron. For the last few years John has been a blessing to my brother and me as he kept an eye on our family homeplace in our absence and let us know of any problems. We are truly sorry we didn’t get to visit with him on our last trip. He will be missed!
My thoughts and prayers are with his family!

I miss tbem both so much but I know I will see them again. Please take care of yourself and look for me in Clarksburg at Wal Mart or Meadowbrook Mall. God bless you and your family.
