Condolence: In recent years it was surely nice the rare times I saw John. I considered him and his family always friends -- treasured from childhood days, of a singular time in our lives. With sincere sympathy, Betty, children, and grandchildren; Jo, RC, Martha, and families- I pray you all have "... the peace of God, which passeth all understanding ...through Christ Jesus." (Php 4:7)

Condolence: so sorry we could not be there to give you a hug today. He was so amazing and we were honored to know him. Will share time with you soon.

Condolence: Dear Betty and Laurie, I am thinking of you both now, and praying for your family. My grandparents, Ivo and Minnie, spoke so highly of John, and of course everyone marveled over his immense talent. I believe I have one of his paintings which he made for my mother, Becky. I 'm sending a live plant for you guys to enjoy! Much love, Julia Love Peterson

Condolence: Betty, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Much love, Yvonne
