Dearest Faith,
So sorry to hear the loss of John.
We were so saddened by the news of his passing. We can still vividly picture you and John coming into store, Bonne Chance Cafe, many times a day, laughing, joking, showing his love to you and yours to him. God bless you all. You and your family are in our prayers.

Faith -
I was shocked and saddened to learn of John's untimely passing.
Though I knew him for such a short time during our Norway trip, I felt like I had known him much longer.  He was a caring, thoughtful and fun-loving man that I will remember fondly and think of often.
You and the children are in my thoughts and prayers.
With love,  Helene Rivlin,
            Charlotte, NC

What a loss for you, Faith.  John and you made our trip so much more fun and joyful for us in Norway.  Still remember the skoaling we did on the bow of the ship at Trollfjord, in the tavern, and while dancing and enjoying the music with such good friends.  Those memories are special for us all and will be of some comfort for you, we hope.
Love
Richard and Margie Dickey

Dearest Faith, Walter and Jackie,  
   Our hearts are broken learning today of your tragic loss. You and John had such an aura of love around you on our Norway trip.  We felt like we had known you both for a long time and were so enriched by your happiness, light, and love. You both touched us (for a life time) in ways that seem impossible  for the short time we were together.  
   We will hold you and your children in our hearts and prayers. May God bless you and give you His peace.  
   We love you and will miss John so much.  His goodness and love shined out of him every moment.  He was one of the most special people we have had the privilege of knowing.
  Thank you for being such wonderful, uplifting people.  The Lord is good and we know He is carring you all in the palm of His hand. 
   All our love,  Travis and Margaret Fulton

Faith, I wish you and your family much comfort during this time. Please accept our wishes of sympathy. He will carry you through. 

Phil 4:13  Yes, I do love God.  He is my Savior and source of existence.  He keeps me functioning each and every day.  Without Him, I will be nothing.  Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.

Faith,

I am so sorry to hear about John, he was/ is a good soul!  Take comfort in the love and memories you and your family created.  He truly loved you and that type of love is rare.  Now he can just share that love among more people.  My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
