    Dave,
    So sorry to hear of your Dad’s death. Wish I could be there with you and your family as you grieve. I’ll always remember your Dad as a cheerful & pleasant guy…always greeted me with a smile when I saw him. Saw him for the last time at a play at the library maybe 5 or 6 years ago. Please give our condolences to your Mom & sister. Praying for you & your family over the next several days. Miss you!

    To the family of John Weesner,
    Please know that I am very saddened to learn of John’s passing. I met him in the summer of 2007 at the first ever Indiana Carcinoid Awareness Network meeting. He was always such an inspiration to our group. I’ve never met a man that showed as much strength and courage as John did, even when he wasn’t feeling well. But his presence at group always brought joy to othrs. And he was funny, and he made me smile. And I will miss him. Please know that your entire family is in my heart and prayers during this sad time.

    To John’s family, We are sorry and saddened to hear of John’s passing. We met John through the Indy Carcinoid Support Group two years ago. He was always very pleasant and kind to all of us. Many times I would run into him at IU as we would be getting our shots at approx. the same time – always friendly and caring. We hope that you find strength and peace through the love and memories you share with family and friends. In our prayers, Pam & Rick Morehead

    To the family,
    I was very sorry to hear of John’s passing. I worked with John for the majority of the 15 years he was with the State. We had lots of good times and going out to each lunch with the “gang”. Find comfort in God’s arms, as He will watch over for you and He will take very good care of John. Rejoice, John’s Heavenly Spirit has already left this world. Rejoice and be glad that John has found wholeness and peace in Heaven. Death does not have to be filled with morning, knowing John, he would want his earthly life celebrated and remembered.
    You are all in my prayers.
    Shelly.
