It was such a pleasure to renew friendship with John over the last year. Just hope I gave him a little happiness in the last year helping him get to a great facility with great care and lots of Love. I will kiss his jokes, the laughs I had trying to understand him and our outings to his doctors appointments. John so loves his Cokes and Oreo’s.!! I only let them give him 3 per meal and he was mad at me, I knew he would eat the whole package. John I am going to miss seeing you all the time at Bridgewater and was so honored to be your Care Manager. RIP my friend. Now your chair has no speed limit, run and drive fast and eat whatever you want my friend.!!! You have shocked us all by leaving this earth so suddenly, so many will miss you. Bridget Wetterer
May passing time, caring friends and loving memories, work gently through the coming days to help comfort his family.
I’m very sorry for your loss. The Bible can offer much needed comfort at this difficult time. John 5:28, 29 says, “Do not be amazed at this, for the hours coming in which all those in the Memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, Those who did good things to a resurrection of life.” For more information please go to http://www.JW.org.
