I'm going to miss my Uncle so much. It seemed too quick, too soon...but God had plans for him we didn't now about. In 2 Corinthians 5, it says "God himself has prepared us for this..." (for our new bodies in heaven). That's a comfort to know. Praying for peace that only the Father can bring. Love and prayers to you all, Sandy

I was so sorry to read of Mr. Grinnell's passing. Such a dear, sweet man. I will miss our run ins at the grocery store and our quick conversations about our children. The light in Niles is a little dimmer today, but Mr. Grinnell's beautiful smile is surely illuminating heaven today. My deepest sympathy to Mrs. Grinnell and the family.

Ahhh Mary Carol, I wish I could hug you! You married a remarkable man...and John, married a remarkable woman! You & John have been such a source of inspiration for both Barry & I. Twenty years ago I started working for the Health Dept. and twenty years ago we found out my husband needed a kidney transplant. You sought me out at work & wrapped you’re arms around me & told me it would be OK, that I was strong enough to handle this & then you told me about, John, and his journey through transplantation. Not long after our husbands met each other and shared a unique bond over the years. John, was a wonderful, compassionate man & a huge comfort to Barry, just as you’ve been to me. Our lives have been touched beautifully, just by knowing John & you. And we are both forever thankful & grateful ❤️ Barry & Tracy Adams

I remember meeting John and Mary Carol when they were leaders for our youth fellowship during my high school years. Our church was so blessed to have such a driven, Christ -centered soul serving every year since! Our prayers are with Mary Carol and the family. Marilyn Haslett and Tom Hoff

Mary, I was so sorry to hear of John's passing. He will be greatly missed. I always enjoyed our hellos at church. His kindness was incredibly genuine after my Dad passed away. It meant a lot to me. You and your entire family are in our prayers! Nancy Tyler

Dear Family: We are so very sorry to hear of John's passing. He was a great guy and will be missed by many. ~ When Tomorrow Starts Without Me When tomorrow starts without me and I'm not here to see... If the sun should rise and find your eyes filled with tears for me, I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today... While thinking of the many things we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you... And each time you think of me, I know you'll miss me, too. But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand... That Jesus came and called my name and took me by the hand, And said my place was ready in heaven far above... And that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love. So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart... For every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart. ~David Romano~ ------ Your in our thoughts and prayers. Greg Surber, Kiwanis Denise Anders
