Certain special people have a gift of being able to make other people feel good just from their presence.
John had this gift. He always made you feel good just by being around him. His fun, easy going demeanor and kind words made you want to stop, slow down and chat even in the seemingly most stressful situations.
His always present encouragement and smile made a world of difference in many lives.
Heaven has gained a special soul and we have lost a true friend.
