It seems like yesterday we were all together laughing and enjoying talking and going out on the pontoon, camping and just sitting and talking. I miss you so very, very much. You can't replace your favorite uncle nor can you ever forget him. We love and miss you so much!

Wilma, Donna Jean, and Paul. I have many fond memories of us all at Aunt Tince's, family reunions, just our Daddy bringing us to visit, etc.. Your marriage is a marriage and a family environment that I always admired from way, way back in my childhood. I knew True Love existed between you both. I am so sorry to hear about your loss and wish I could have been there to give you a hug and confirm my belief that God does exist and our lives are special and Eternal Life is there and I know John believed Jesus died for him. John's life was special and he touched a lot of people including mine. Hold Fast...In God's Glory we will all be together one fine day in Heaven.

Wilma, So sorry for your loss and also your family. John was only a couple years older than I am, and I remember him when he stayed with Grandpa Brown, that is Walter Brown in Evansville. Daddy will be waiting for him and they will have some fishing stories to talk over. John and Daddy were very close. God Bless you and yours Love Sonoma Tremper

Wilma, I know it is very hard on you and your family now. But honey trust me, the days, weeks and months will be harder. I know this from experience of losing my husband a little over 2 years ago. A friend told me while Delbert lay corps at Tucker's that it would get easier with time, I thought she was just telling me that to dry some tears. But trust me after a little over a year it did start getting easier and I'm alone, very seldom see anyone erxcept at church or when I go in hospital. I can think of him or talk about him now with-out crying. Sorry, I can't be there for you during this time. I know Billie will spend time with you after the burial is over and hopefully your children will spend more time with you than mine do me. Wilma, take care and remember God and I Love "YOU" God is holding you right now, you may not realize... but He is!
