    John was my solid! I always knew he was and would be there, with a hug and a prayer. I cannot imagine our church without him, yet we are without him. Heavens even brighter with John’s arrival. I’ll miss you only until I see you again, John. Love you.

    John was a precious man and loved by my family. My husband David loved to talk to him about when he drove trucks back in the day. He will be greatly missed. ❤️

    Dear Penny, I am sending love and prayers for your peace and comfort at this most difficult loss. I lost Russell on January 3rd this year and I‘m struggling between being happy he is in heaven with Jesus and not in pain anymore but missing him so very much. I truly am sorry we were never able to come visit as Russ’s health has failed in the last few years. Just know I think of you often and still remember the fun times we had with you and John. He was a wonderful example of a man after God’s heart.

    I am so very sorry to learn of John’s passing. We attended school together and were high school friends at Frankford High School. He was a very kind and loving person. My prayers for Penny, who I knew also but not as well as John. My condolences to all my friends in both the Mullins and Boggs families. RIP John…..🕊️
