John, Jill and family. I am so sorry to hear of JB's passing. It is a shock to me. He was such a blessing. I loved joking around with him. He always had a big smile on his face. If he saw someone that needed a smile, he was always right there to see how he could make things better. What a witness for Christ he was. I wish that I could have come to the services. He is greatly missed. For me it is a comfort to know that I will see him again in heaven. We are praying for you. We love and miss all of you.

He will live on forever in the hearts of so many! He was so cute as a little fellow when we visited at Jill's Mom's when Julianna and Chuck were in grade school. Have enjoyed the photos over the years. He was a pleasure to know via our Facebook chats as a college student and adult. He was part of one of the most wonderful families I have ever known. God is with you. And he is with God! One day you'll all be together again! I love you all so very very much! Shirley Ann
