Dear Mrs. Swann, I was saddened when I heard about Mr. Swann’s passing. I had hoped to see him once more. I hope you are doing as well as can be expected. I enjoyed visiting you and your husband. He was a very kind and brave man. I hope I will be able to face the end of my earthly life as well as he did. Take care of yourself.

I was blest enough to marry into this beautiful family. I am thankful for every moment I got to spend with Johnny and the entire family. Johnny was a gentle, giving husband and father. He gave all of us loving support and guidance and touched all of us forever. He will not be forgotten and all the family will be in my prayers.

It would take more than words to let you know how much it meant to me to have uncle Johnny as my friend and uncle.I could always depend on him for understanding when I was confused I could depend on him for comfort when I was sad I could depend on him for laughter when I was happy and wisdom when I was mad.I am so thankful and was so blessed That he was my uncle and to know that he Was always my friend.He will be greatly and sadly missed.
To have striven, to have made an effort, to have been true to certain ideals — this alone is worth the struggle. We are here to add what we can to, not to get what we can from, life.’ Sir William Osler
Uncle Johnny added a great deal to all of the lives he touched, never worrying about what he would get in return. He loved everyone and was well loved in return. I have nothing but very fond memories of Uncle Johnny. All of Charles’ children loved and respected Uncle Johnny; we will miss him very much.
