Sweet Baby John's obituary...lovingly written by his father, David Bottoms...
John Tate Bottoms passed away shortly after birth on Sunday, May 31st, 2015. Although his life on earth was short, Baby John was an incredible blessing to his family, and to many others, who had cherished him from the moment that he began to be fearfully and wonderfully made in his mother’s womb. The journey with Baby John was not easy, but it was indescribably beautiful. Baby John beat all odds to be born alive and his family is so thankful to have had the opportunity to hug him, sing to him, and hear his sweet voice before he peacefully went into the arms of Jesus.
