Sincerest condolences for your loss. May God's peace beyond understanding be with you and your family during this time of grief.
As I type this I can hear your laugh Uncle John D. Your handshakes were legendary and the thanksgivings we had at yours and Aunt Di's house will never be forgotten. Tracey texted me and let me know about your transition to Heaven. I tried to make Tracey laugh by asking who got the John Wayne TP, you know the one that said I ain't taking Sh.. off nobody. Rest Easy Uncle and I'll see you in heaven one day and hopefully the Cowboys will win another Super Bowl before we see each other again. Thank you for the lessons you taught me about respect, hard work and doing things the right way. The right way is usually harder, but its worth every bit of the struggle when the breakthrough happens.
Whenever anyone asked John how he was, his answer was unique. “Better than I deserve “
John always greeted you with a smile! He is missed!
