This is a song written by John's granddaughter, Emily Maier
I don't want to see you leave, but I know it hurts to stay. I love you too much to let you go, but I'm at peace 'cause I know you are with God. The time we had, the love we shared, I can let it go away.
I want to be with you, in the Heaven that you've found. I want to be near you, hold your hand and say, "I love you."
This world is an empty shell, compared to where you are. A shining light, free of pain, where darkness has no hold. A place of lasting love with Jesus by your side.
You held fast to the truth in your heart, loving us all as Christ loved you. Sing there for me with Him, keeping a place for me close to you. I can only pray, only hope, I live a life as full has you have.##imported-begin##Emily Maier##imported-end##
