Event details
Memorial events are private
Papa J was a giver of love. He was loved by many. Papa J didn't want anyone to risk their health or welfare just to attend his funeral. He knew he wouldn't be there. Instead he wanted people to just celebrate the memory of him. So we created this site so that others could join in the celebration of the life of a wonderful child of God. Please post or send pictures and your memories here or reach out to Cynthia via text or email at nursetech71@yahoo.com or 740-617-7871. Thank you all for sharing your memories and showing your support during this time. We are truly blessed to have loved such a beautiful creation.
