Dear
Agape Force Alum's,
Just thought we would update you on John's service. From the very beginning we felt the love and support of everyone present. Kathie, John III, Nina and Kaleb were there to greet everyone as they entered into the service. As we said our goodbyes to John we were all very moved. Hope Community Church opened their doors for the service. Jackie and Brian Lother are the pastors. Gordie Peterson welcomed everybody. Jerry Fryer spoke and honored John and shared some funny stories and brought laughter which was good.. John III, Nina, and Kaleb all spoke of the fatherhood of John, what he meant to them and what a great dad he was to each as well as his honor and love for Kathie. Steve Harrison remembered of the time a intruder came into the house in Los Banos and John tackled him and held him down until the police came. He was then called the Christian bouncer of the AF. Steve gave an anointed message concluding with a pray that all were blessed and moved by. Needless to say we are very saddened of the loss of our dear friend John. We were all reminded of the blessing John's life was to so many and of our own lives and mortality.
.
Many friendships from the Agape Force and from Columbia Heights were renewed.
Included in the group was:
Doug & Jeannie McGill
Steve & Martha Harrison
Jerry & Trisha Fryer
Terry Johnson Rueck
Joey & Jesse Hinrichs
John Boyce
Mike Boyce
Jim Sicillous (sp)
Kim Hinrichs
My husband Art, an honorary member as he has heard all of the stories countless times.
and many others. I apologize for leaving any names off .
If you would like to view and write something in the guest book I have included the following:
With much love and sorrow,
