Rose, Tama and I were saddened to hear of Jon's passing. A lot of good memories not only during our Gardendale days, but whenever our paths would cross. I know he is in the Lord's presence, and singing and worshipping as never before. Happy for Jon, but grieving along with you. May His Spirit grant you peace and comfort as your journey continues on.
