What a lovely video. Losing him breaks my heart. He loved his daughter Jill and his grand daughter Alivia very much. He talked about those two all the time.
I never knew the true meaning behind being broken hearted until all of this, my heart aches in a way it never has. I lost the first man that I ever loved, a man who has been by my side for 32 years & right now I just don’t know how to cope with that. I’m so proud of you and the fight you put up for us, not that I ever gave you much choice in the matter. I’m glad you are at home now, in peace and cancer free. You are loved and will be missed by so many. Thank you for 32 years of your love and the 5 last year’s for loving & spoiling Alivia, I will honor your last words to take care of her I just hope you will continue to watch over us just as you did here. I love you so much dad.
He loved you more than life itself Jill. He was so proud of you and Alivia. He wanted to stay, he did not want to go. He wanted to be with you and your daughter. He was a good person. He was sorry that Alivia would not remember his voice after he had the surgery. She will remember in other ways. I will miss him too. GOD bless you and your daughter….and GOD bless John.
Forever loved and never forgotten fly high grandpa?
You was so deeply loved by all and will be missed by all. You were my dearest uncle I had. God gave us another angel to look over us and took your pain & cancer away. Now you can play poker like you use to yrs ago with uncle Bill and my father………..May God bring comfort & peace to you Jill & Jason. HUGS & LOVE………..Spread your wings and fly Uncle Truman.
I remember meeting you years ago, sometime around 2005-2006 when she moved to Warner Robins, and you made the offhand comment that Jill and I look like we could be sisters, and I said offhand that I wish you were my dad.. I could see the way you loved and adored her, and that was BEFORE Alivia.. When I visited a couple of years ago, I could see that your body was ill, but your spirit was full of pride, love, and respect for Jill, and that Alivia held your heart in her hands. I want you to know that Jill had the same pride, love, and respect for you as well, and always will. And she will share all of the memories she has of you with Alivia to keep your memory alive until it’s time for them to come home where you and Jesus will be waiting for them. With Love, Johna
Jill is following this tribute.
I really miss you JT.
He is greatly missed Brenda
1 year ago on this day I took you to the hospital to have your surgery. Little did I know that your last words to me would be ‘take care of that little girl for me.’ Dad, where did the year go? I miss you so much. I love you.
