Debbie and family…I am so sorry for your loss of a wonderful man, your father, John You will be in my prayers.
There are never words to quite help in times of loss, actions can only help soften the blow. Know that John and your family made quite an impression on many people here at Covance, and that is why we are still rallied behind you in these times of loss. God’s love can heal all wounds, and how He works through others should bring pause and reflection even in times of trouble and dispair. The family will be in many prayers this week, by many people, to help in strength and resolve. Psalm 23, hanging in John’s bedroom, is one thing God provided us in troubling times. It is not just words, but resolve that we can pass through hard times and stay strong with His help.
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. John was a wonderful friend and kind soul. His deep love for his wife and entire family were a true inspiration. I will never forget our many conversations, his wonderful friendship, and deep loyalty to those around him. I am honored to have gotten the chance to know John and to have him as a friend. He will be greatly missed.
