With pleasure, I offer my condolences to your family and dear friends, as you remember the joy that John left for all to share.
Please know that Almighty God will act in our behalf when we commit ourselves to Him and rely on Him. God is the best one to equip our family to endure and supplies comfort so that all of us may have among ourselves the same mental attitude that Christ Jesus had. Romans 15:5.
My sincerest sympathy.
