thank you for sharing the sevice,for those of us who couldnt make it for JOHNNY\ AUNT JO
Thank you for livestreaming Johnnie's funeral service. It meant alot to me and Aunt Jo because we knew we could not make the trip to Michigan at this point in our lives. I thought of Lil John often throughout all these 45 years, hoping he found happiness in something every day. And thank you Lori and Leonard for taking such good care of him all these years. You gave up a
Lil John was always a happy go lucky kid, always laughing and joking. He had a zest for life that many people can only imagine having. He never gave up, choosing to LIVE and not just waste away for 45 long years after being paralyzed in 1977. What a great spirit he had. I pray I can be as brave when my time comes to leave this earth for heaven. I will be happy to see all of my family who has gone before me.
John was more than a brother-in-law, John was like brother and great friend. We would laugh and joke around, watch football together and come up with food for Lori to fix almost always for John. I always like taking him fishing when he was feeling good. He loved his family very much. I will always cherish the time we had together.
I know you've been tired for a long time. We talked so much about how hard it was for you to be paralyzed most of your life and all the things you missed out on. I am thankful God gave me all the time I had with you, I only wish it could have been more. I love you with all my heart and will miss you deeply. Now go catch those fireflies and give Dad and Mom a hug for me.
Johnny growing up we were like best friends! Even though we grew apart you have held a very special place in my heart! You will continue to hold that place. Fly high Cuz I love you
I met John when I was just a teenager and became his little "Sticks". He was such a humorous guy. He never let his medical issues steal the love and joyhe had for his family. I will miss you Lil John but I know you are now complete and whole. Candy & Dave Jordan
