I love you guys so much, I wish I could be there with you all. I will always remember walking to the swimming pool and sleeping out in Graams back yard when you all would come to Lander for the summer. John, I love you and I will miss you cousin
John helped me sell two properties and purchase another. He was an excellent realtor and even better friend. He was a man of service to anyone in need. He loved his family dearly and was so proud of all of them. I am so sorry for your loss. He will be missed beyond measure.
The McOmie family has had so much influence in my life! I feel like I am one of you, and I am heartbroken that John is gone. I will always remember him fondly, and I have been praying for him and all of you (especially Laurel and their kids) for several weeks now. May you be blessed as you push through this painful and difficult time together. I love you!
My sincere condolences to your beautiful family. May you find peace and forever hold the fond memories you all have in your hearts.
