My condolences, as feelings of pain and bitterness become unbearable. It is my desire to convey a comforting thought based on the Holy Scriptures
John 5:28 "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out."
This passage speaks of the resurrection of our loved ones. It is not God's plan to see us suffer and die, so He extends the following invitation to us: "Come near to God and He will draw near to you" (James 4:8)

Please accept my deepest sympathies and condolences regarding John's passing. I knew, and worked with, John for close to 20 years. While we never became "good friends" we did become Brothers from, and in, the nature of our work. I always liked and respected John as a person and a fellow officer. He was a good man. I was proud to have known him and served with him!
May God rest his soul and may all of you, his family, feel God's love and comfort at this difficult time.
