Memories
From Cynthia Bateman
My dear Brenda and kids, my heartfelt sympathies go out to you. This is such a sad time for all of you, but rest in the sure knowledge that John is in heaven, probably laughing with Jesus and Bob about some of the things they said and did (like being in "deep kim-shee"), remembering happy times and asking Jesus all the questions we never had answers for. I saw very little of you guys in recent years, so I will always remember John as being full of life and love, laughing out loud and always, always having a heart for ministry.. Cynthia Bateman
From Marie Mar
To my dear friend Larry and all of the Shorthill family. My deepest condolences at your loss. I didn't know John, but he sound like a grand man. I hold you in my prayers during this sad time. We can be sure that John is now free from the bonds of his terrible illness and safe, peaceful, happy, and whole in the arms of his Saviour, Jesus Christ. Therein lies our solitude too.
From Sharon Mayer Simpson
I knew John in his "wild youth" and can say he was always a gentleman to the core. Happy trails John.
From Carol Briggs
