Not sure what to say?





My deepest sympathy and condolences to the family and friends for your loss. I know all too well that this is a very difficult time for everyone to be going through but I hope you all find some comfort from the words found at Psalms 94:19 that says When anxieties overwhelmed me, you comforted and soothed me.

Uncle John was such a kind, gentle and generous man. The world was a better place with him in it. Until we meet again may God hold you in the hollow of his hands. RIP. My heart goes out to Aunt Kathy and the entire Meade family for their loss.

My father chose John to be his "Best Man" at my parents wedding back in 1953. John held on to the title for the rest of his life. He was always "The Best Man".
