Swanson, John "Johnnie"

Jody and all - What a nice tribute to your father in the obituary. He was indeed a great man and the obituary depicted him to a tee! He will be missed by many but we can find comfort in the fact that now he is at peace. I apologize for not being able to come to the service but we are going to be out of town and will not be able to attend the service. Please know that you are in our thoughts. May God Bless you.

Uncle Johnnie was always quick with a laugh and making the people around him feel better about their situation. My Mother, Johnnie's sister Connie, always spoke to me about how she looked forward to speaking with her brother each and every Sunday. Uncle Johnnie would always find the time to make that call and make my Mother's week a little brighter. I know they are both sharing a place in heaven today and my Mother has one of her best friends with her now. I am sure he has already put a smile on her face and share a hearty laugh.

To the Swanson clan I offer my sympathies. A ray of light has left our presence but his memory will always remain. I will miss my Uncle Johnnie and could never thank him enough for remembering my Mother each and every week.
