A true man of God, saved by grace alone, through faith alone, and in Christ alone. A man who promoted that message! I cherish the times we've spent together, especially in prayer. Enjoy your peace in fullness. Until we meet again, dear brother.

Dorothy, you have been much in our prayers during John's long illness and especially now in this time of grief and sorrow.. We pray that you will know the Lord's present consolation and comfort. John's hope and consolation lay in the redemption accomplished by the Lord Jesus on our behalf. Now he is in the Lord's glorious presence far from the suffering and pain of the world.
