For those who didnt know John the way I did, sit back and let me explain; I knew John all my life, you see I grew up with Annette and John living next door to me. Big John as he was called by my family always made sure we (Lisa , John and myself) were having fun...quietly :). John and Pete ( Annettes father I believe) would dress up at Christmas and play Santa Clause for the 4 of us. I still smile when I think of that ... sitting on those plastic covered couches in their upstairs living room . And what about the 4 th of July? . John somehow got us the biggest sparklers and the loudest fireworks... Yes he knew how to have fun , he knew how to make other people smile but more importantly.. he and Annette know how to leave an imprint on someones heart and speak words of wisdom into a small child who grew up next to them wishing they were her parents I am forever grateful to have been blessed with such people. So Thank you John, Thank you Jesus for sharing him and putting John and Annette in my life . With love Suzanne
