Dear Julie and Family. I was saddened to hear about John’s death. Over the years I often heard very nice things said about him. Sadly, I never met him. I wish our families had gotten together more often over the years, but with your living in Oklahoma, and my family even further away in Alaska, it never happened. Please know that my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family as you grieve your loss of John.

John and I had a million great times while we attended Optometry school. I will miss you John.

Julie,
We were so saddened to hear of John’s sudden passing. He was a special person and a wonderful trumpet player.
I have wonderful memories of him and the other cousins at Grandma and Grandpa’s farm.
Our thoughts and prayers remain with you and your family. We ask God to comfort you on this new and unwanted journey.
We regret that we were unable to attend the visitation last night and the service this morning. We both are having health struggles that limit our activities at the present time.
Once again, may God wrap His arms around you all.x
Love, Arnold and Margaret Hawthorne
Dear Julie and family,
Dave and I were so saddened to hear about John’s death. The times we got to see all of you were few and far between because of the distance. Aunt Maggie was always so good about keeping us informed at the Neely family reunions, and we were always grateful for that. We will continue to keep all of you in our prayers during this extremely difficult time!
Love to all of you,
Linda
