To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say....

But first of all, to let you know that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from heaven.  Here I dwell with God above.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.

Remember that I'm with your every morning, noon and night.

That day I had to leave you, when my life on earth was through,

God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

And when you're walking down the street,

And when you've got me on your mind,

I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for to go...from that body to be free,

Remember you're not going...you are coming here to me.

John and Cheryl are a part of our family here at Lake Mohawk in North Mississippi.  Their love for the outdoors and water bought them here to be part of our family. Everyone who knew John knows that he loved it here.  He always told everyone that he met, how beautiful it was on the lake.  And why would you want to be anywhere else.  John had travel the world and saw many differ lands, but in John's eyes Lake Mohawk was the most beautiful place in the world.  Cheryl was the love of his eyes and John would always tell us how greatful he was that he had her.  And that he didn't know what he would do, if she wasn't there. 

John's wish was to be here and for his ashes to remain a part of our lake.  He may be out of sight, but he will always be apart of our heart and memories.  And the times we spent with them both will be cherished forever.

Our deepest heart felted sympathy goes out to his loving wife Cheryl and his  family.   

John Robert Reardon was the first born of Bernard and Lilly Reardon in Rocky Mount North Carolina on July 16, 1946.  John had one sister named Patricia. 

He joined the United States Army one week before he was drafted.  He wanted to serve his country.  Which he done proudly and with great honor.

After returning to the states John went to work with Sears Roebuck, then set out on his own and opened up his pool company. 

John meet his first wife Pat and they had one son Brad and one daughter Kelly. He married his secound wife Cheryl in 2008 and they begin their life together .

 Cheryl could see the good heart inside this man.  Cheryl fell in love without any thoughts of herself.  Their love brought them closer and closer with each passing day.  A closest that only people can dream about.  And only a few will have.
