JOHN LINNA

Betty, Pennie, Patrick, Pete... and all... my heart is with you all, and my prayers are for you all. I cherish the ever so few memories I have of my time with you all last spring... and Pastor is going to live on in my heart - as yours - forever. What a good man he was. Just a good GOOD man. God has certainly said to him "well done good and faithful servant". I know this with all my heart.

There is a Dr. John shaped hole in the blogosphere. He had a profound impact on many of us, and we are mourning with you. The good he did will live on forever.

Dear Betty and Family I was so sorry to hear of Dr John's Passing, I have been keeping you in Prayer. I am glad that I got to know Dr John and you and the family though his blog. I am grateful that we became friends. Bill

You are all in our thoughts and prayers in this time of loss. We are sorry we cannot be with you in this time of grief and remembrance. I will always think of John as my 'studious' cousin whose words and actions helped me to develop as a total person as I grew up. Though we were not close in our adult life, I always knew he was a part of my family and I am thankful for having had him as a part of my life. Dennis
