To Chloe, our special friend. We want you to know that our hearts are heavy with your sadness and loss of John on this earth. We will never forget what a sweet spirited man he was and we thank God for the short time John was able to be our true friend. I can never thank God, John, or you enough for sharing your time and friendship with us when we needed you during hard times. John always gave me good advice from his heart. John was your soul-mate Chloe. You “lit” up his world. God has his arms wrapped around John now in a place where he will have everlasting peace and comfort. Know that we love you and pray for your comfort and peace here..until you join John again.

Dearest Miss Sheila,
With deep regrets we were sorry to hear about John’s passing. Even though he will be missed by all, he is no longer suffering and in a much better place. I am sure that the times ahead will be very difficult but with many prayers and blessings all will be OK. I will definitely miss talking to him about muscle cars and hot rods. You are his life and again I am so so sorry for your loss.
