To Connie and family - May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories of the joyful times together as you celebrate a life well-lived. I have many great memories of John from the 55 years he has been a family member. God Bless you all.

Connie and Family, We are praying for your comfort in the Lord at this time of grief. Knowing John and being able to share his love for the Lord is something I will always remember. John was very giving and compassionate. I am grateful for being able to hear his beautiful saw music.

Wonderful memories flood my mind of John. I love John deeply, and will miss him terribly. He will always be a blessing to all who knew him. God used him in a special outreach ministry at Pikes Peak Park Baptist Church, creating cards for special occasions, i.e., birthday/anniversarys. Always ready with his big friendly hugs, proudly playing his saw at church, and distributing smiles wherever he went; these are an inkling of the things I will remember and miss the most. I am praying for strength, for everyone involved in his life, to get through this time of trial. May the memories you lovingly possess uphold you when you need them the most.
Love,
Cindy
