From personal knowledge, and by all accounts, John was a created by God as an exceptional man who passed kindness and beauty to all whom he touched throughout his life. And now, we are all touched by his passing.
I am so very sorry for your loss. I only had the pleasure of meeting John one time but could tell instantly that he was a very kind hearted and genuine man with a great sense of humor. Please know that I am praying for you and your family at this very difficult time.

Barb, please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers in your time of loss.
Your family is in my prayers. Barb I’m deeply sorrowed over your loss.
Although not that great in number, I considered every conversation we ever had a blessing. His selfless interest in others when chatting coupled with his smile and sense of humor were endearing qualities. Though in the midst of sadness here, it is a joy to know he has entered into his rest.
Ecclesiastes 7:1
Loved Uncle John, just as if he is my real uncle. Our families spent holidays together, vacations or trips together. Worked in church together. Just like families do. It won’t be long til we are all together, when Jesus comes to get us.
I know that this is a tough time for you as you have lost your best friend. Just know that I lift you and your family up in prayer and ask the Lord to give you strength as you go through this time of grief.
Love you dearly and my heart aches for your loss.

Dear Kristi,
We at the MBCHCFM would like to offer our condolences about the loss of your father-in-law John Q Theriot.
Our love, thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire Theriot family. As always, we are blown away by your amazing spirit and strength.
May you be comforted by the loving, fun memories of him. Though the ones we love may leave life as we know it, the love we know will always carry on.
Be comforted by the words of the Psalmist:
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, and he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Sincerely,
Reverend Gladys Johnson and the MBCHCFM family
