Dear family,
So sorry to hear of John’s passing.
He won’t be suffering anymore. Ina I know it will be difficult for you to carry on. God Bless you and your family at this very difficult time.
To the family we are sorry for the loss of your love one.
I didnt know Mr. Emery personally, but I did know all of his children. I rode the same bus as they did, and was in the same class as their son Bob up until 5th grade. I’m deeply sorry for your loss.
john(witchy) and family i am sorry for your lost.my thoughs and prayers are with you all..teri lynn (witchy pooh)
We would like to thank everyone for their well wishes and your support
My deepest condolances to this family. I will remember John as one of the most family oriented pepole that I have ever met. He was always working and always had time for his family and their frends. In my years growing up, I spent a lot of time at their home. I have not forgotten any of them or the times we all had growing up together. As life here goes on, I will still always miss my friends from days gone by. God Bless and may he give everyone the strength to get through this time of your lives. Friends are forever.
