To all the Meek family, We want to express our condolences to you for the lost of your
beloved family member.
To Rick, Paula, and Charlie, I know your relationship with your dad was not the same as you had with your mother, but i’m sure your love for John Paul was just under the surface. He was able to have a long life that many of us do not get to experience. May God bless his soul for eternity. May God bless all of you as well.
