What a shock when I saw in the newspaper that John had passed. I am so sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed visiting with John and Mary during the Holt Reunion. Although the last time I saw John was at the funeral of Wilson Miller. I so enjoyed talking to him at that time. Mary and family you are in my prayers.

My best childhood memories are times spent with your family. Going to the lake, me and Linda hiding when Dad came over, so he'd forget me and I could stay all night, Uncle Johnny, Aunt Mary, Mom and Dad staying up late playing rook while us kids played, going bowling on Saturday nights, those early Christmases...the list is endless. Uncle Johnny was a strong family man and he was well known by lots of people. That's why we all miss him so much. I will be in prayer for all the family. Love you~~
