    WE WERE SADDEN TO HEAR OF J.P.'S PASSING. IT WAS A PLEASURE TO HAVE KNOW J.P. ALWAYS ENJOYED OUR CHATS WHEN HE WOULD CALL TO ORDER FLOWERS FOR EMMIE'S GRAVE. WHEN WE LAST SPOKE WITH J.P. IN JANUARY HE WAS SADDEN TO HAVE TO CLOSE HIS BUINESS. HE WAS A KIND, HONEST AND FRIENDLY PERSON, HE WILL BE MISSED! MAY HE REST IN THE ARMS OF GOD!

    Missy and marty, I'm sorry about your Dad. We had lost touch since my Dad died. Mama talked to him several times while he was sick. I wish I could come today, but it is a difficult time for me to ask off from work. I would love to see you both. Love, Alice

    J.P. My boss, my friend for four years. A man of words and rules, that though me so much about life, but most importantly about my family. Evey time I wanted to work over time, he always told me, that I need it to spend time with my family. J.P. we will always miss you. I'll always remember you for the rest of my life. Your hard rules will stay in my heart, with out forgetting about the spirit of always giving kindly service to the people.
