You meant the world to me, and you changed my life forever. You made me into a better person and I will never forget you. I have no regrets and if I were to do it all over again, I would do it exactly the same way. I can’t thank God enough for bringing you into my life and for giving me the opportunity to change your life for the better. Thank you for loving me with all of your heart, and for being my best friend for the past 12 years. All my love, John

Little Johnny – we had so much fun growing up together. The memories that we all have with you will always be cherished. Our prayers are with each of those that are left behind in hopes that this will bring each of us to a closer personal relationship with the only true comforter, Jesus Christ. You are truly missed but we will meet again one day in glory. Thanks for the memories…

John, I know you are hurting and feel a great loose in your life at this time. My love & prayers are with you,I know God will see you though this.

I did not get to know Johnny that will, but what I did know of him, was that he was a very loving and compassion person and cared deeply for you. He will be missed by all that knew him. I love you, Mom

He will be missed and is truly loved. God’s timing is not always our timing, but God knows best! God bless you all…Judy & Odell

To my dear loving son,

Like everyone else I am going to miss you so so much that it’s hard to put into words. You were a very special son that I truly loved. Life is very difficult but with everyone you were around you always found a way to show them love and happiness.

You will truly be missed but I know that your beautiful eyes and caring heart has now found peace.

I truly love you my son,

Dad

To all of Johnny’s family & friends,

Thank-you for your kind words, thoughts and prayers. As you know, this has been extremely difficult for me. Johnny was my life. I was consumed with him, and gave my all to him and in taking care of him. I invested everything I had into him, physically, emotionally, spiritually and financially, and then some. He changed my life for the better and I thank God for bringing him into my life and for giving me the opportunity to make his life better. He was truly happy, and neither of us had any regrets. This past year had really started to get to him, and it was getting very hard for me. He never became a burden, and I assured him of that. I cant thank God enough for taking him the way he did. It was Johnny’s wishes to end his journey exactly the way he did. I know he was happy and was finally at peace with God and with himself. He finally came to terms with his life and he knew I was happy and that I was going to be OK. Even thought it will be hard for me to move on, I know I have to, and I know that is what Johnny wanted for me to do. I am thankful he knew and met my friend, Harold, and he really liked him, and knew that Harold would take care of me and love me as Johnny himself had and would have continued to do so. Johnny will always be with me, no matter where I am or who I may continue my life with. Johnny can never ever be replaced by anyone. He was my love, my best friend, my everything and no one can take that from me. I will cherish him and our life together for the past 12 years forever. Thank-you for welcoming me into your family, I will never forget each and everyone of you, and always know, I am here for you all too.

Sincerely,

John A Sitter

You are and will always be in our hearts and great memories are with us of our time together.Love can not describe how we felt about you, it is much more than that. Gods Speed my dearest Nephew, cousin and great cousin

We will miss you Johnny, but we will never forget you.

It didn’t seem to matter,

in your tender love and care.

Whenever you were present,

you spread happiness everywhere.

It was your youthful heart

and how you told your part.

Our laughter never stopped,

nor will it ever depart.

Whenever we saw your face

you made a happy day

in your own special way.

And the love that you confessed,

before you went to rest,

have brought your family and guest,

to see God is the best,

and has called you home to rest.

We love you.

Little Johnny although we didn’t get to spend much time together as kids I will still miss greatly. I will cherish the time that we did have together. I will always love you. Cousin Crystal Gail Rasar Sands

John, Please accept our sympathy. You are in our prayers.

Love,

Dave & Brenda

Little Johnny I look back and I remember when we were kids and I was the one you always picked on the most. When I would start to cry because my feelings were hurt you always would say you were sorry to me.

I have so many wonderful memories of you and not any of them were bad ones.God needed another angel in heaven and so he chose to take you away from us.

You are in heaven now looking down on us all.I will make it a point to every day for the rest of my life to look up at you and blow you a kiss and tell you that I love you.

We had an unforgettable childhood you were always getting me into trouble.I know now that you will be the angel on my shoulder that will always look out for me.

I will cherish each and every one of the memories that we shared and i will always keep you close to my heart.I love you Little Johnny you were my Couisin,my brother,my best friend you are in a very special place now and you are walking beside our papaw and our uncle Charles p.s. “MISS ME I KNOW YOU MISS ME I KNOW YOU MISS ME BLIND to those of you who know what that quote means always remember our precious Little Johnny and think of him when he used to sing that song.

Little Johnny I find myself thinking about you more and more since you have been gone. Right now in my life it seems like I have noone to turn to to comfort me about your death. This has been so hard on me and noone seems to understand just how hard it is on me. We were so close growing up our whole lives. My life hasn’t exactly turned out to be the greatest but if you were here I know that I could turn to you to talk to about my everyday feelings. You were always there for me when we were growing up. All I had to do was call you. I dont know how to deal with your death and there is noone that can fully understand. I have always been the one in the family who couldn’t control her life.I still cant but I am trying and I know that if you were here you would know just what to say to me to make me feel better. I loved you then and I still love you now.Tears fall down my face because I cant call you and talk to you about my troubled life right now. You met my son Dylan when he was just a baby,well now I have two precious babies who you would have loved to see. I was just your cousin but we had a bond that noone on this earth will ever understand except the two of us.I miss you so much and I cant believe you are gone. You see I haven’t dealt with this yet it hasn’t fully hit me but I know that in time it will. God bless you in heaven please look out for me i am trying to deal with your death but noone understands just how hard it is on me. I know that it is hard on everyone else too I am not being selfish I am just hurting I miss you so much Little Johnny

I KNEW JOHNNY THRU MY SON SKIP. PLUS HE WORKED FOR ME AT WEIGEL’S. HE WAS A VERY SWEET AND GOOD GUY. HE WOULD GO OUT OF HIS WAY TO HELP YOU. MAY GOD AND THE ANGELS WATCH OVER HIM. HE HAS NOT LEFT US, HE WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS. WE LOVE YOU JOHNNY!

I rote this for Judy & JOHN,

Did you know that GOD above created you to Love,He picked you from all the restcause he knew you was the best,He had a heart and it was true now that he is gone it went from him to you. Take good care of it as he has done for after all he is still your son,Iam waiting for you up in heaven, I will even write your name on the golden chair.I’ll give back the angles their golden harps and silver strings just to have one more moment with you there. But on that day I was called away, on a very important mission, that only GOD knew. opon my arrival the mission was reviled, you watching me from down there now my job is to closley watch over you from up here.

with all my

LOVE
