Mary Beth,John and Family,I know the Lord had a hand in my stopping by to visit John this past Thanksgiving.John was telling how good all of you were to him.He showed me the porch you were working on for him.We shared memories of my Father Troy L. Stanfield who knew John through RC Motorlines and Brown Trucking Co. Right now I now they are talking over old times. John was a man of GOD and blessed every life he came in contact with over the years. As I left he gave me two beautiful Oranges from his tree. He was so proud of them and always wanted to share! God be with your family and bless you! Joyce Stanfield ThomaS
