Grace, Johnny, Adam and my dear husband Wes. Lord knows how loving you all were while working with hospice during Johns last time on earth. He is a peace now, in heaven with his family having a reunion. Love never dies and try to hang on to that thought, he loved all of his family. Time will heal your sadness but every day you can talk to him. I do that on my way to work, talk to my mom, dad and brother rod, now will be adding John to my prayers. I will always remember his smile and kind words he had, also his interesting stories. He was a good husband, father, grand father and my father-in-law and i will never forget him. I love you all and am here for you anytime. Jeannie Goings
