- “First I want to thank God, our God, for 90 blessed years. I thank you all, for being a great part of it. Y’all truly made my day, one that I’ll always remember in my heart. I thank you all for the love, cards, gifts, monetary, and kind words. God’s blessings to all that were able to attend. My love and prayers to you all, and a special thanks to all who put it together. I really enjoyed and appreciated you all.” John D. McCarty.
