Prayers for you...

John,
John,
I remember, while roaming the halls of OHS, you carried the needed books (always with protective covers), across your chest as you hurried along to the next period of "learning". When we crossed paths you never failed to to say hi. No matter what was bouncing around in my head, I always felt better when I heard your greeting mixed with a smile and your trademark chuckle- that seemed involve the entire upper half of your body. I will keep that permanent memory close. I know that the grace with which you lived and loved will keep and comfort your beloved and family, at this hour of "moving on". Thanks, John
With respect and gratitude,
John & Kit Hagan

Dear Joan, Stephanie, Kelly
Dear Joan, Stephanie, Kelly and Jonathan , Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. There is no preparing for the loss of a spouse or parent and we each grieve in our own personal way and time. John will always be Johnny to me as we were not only cousins, but playmates as well from an early age. I was the only girl in the neighborhood and I never remember him being unkind to me. He had such an endearing smile and such a kind manner. Johnny will be missed many. Love, Jimmie and Carol
