Because I know who holds the future....John, your parents were a very special couple. Now your Dad joins your Mom in heaven, in peace, and in love. I can just see you Dad taking his place with the other icons of the civil rights movement. He affirmatively answered the question, who is my brother. Because we have hope, we know that you will miss them but they are together eternally with our Lord. May God comfort and bless you. Forever "Faye" on behalf of the Broiles, Pittman, Peteet, and Hill families.

On behalf my of my family and my grandmother Jewell Haywood-Campbell, we truly want to let the family know that we are in prayer with each of you. Mr. Green was a very knowledgeable man who shared his experiences and history with our family. We were so grateful to have had the privilege of knowing such a strong and wise man. He shared with us many stories and pictures of his college days that touched our hearts to hear. Although he has gone on, we know that he will live own through stories and pictures that have been captured and shared down through the years. Lord, cover the family and bless them with a peace during this journey. ~You Have A Voice~

John E. Green was a mentor to me as a young lawyer and I came to know him as not only an icon but a friend. His contributions to the community and legal profession are not yet fully appreciated. He never forgot his roots or what he stood for, and so Godspeed to my hero. Now, not only can he can listen to B.B. King all he wants, but will join him in heaven. Prayers to John Green, Jr., and the entire family.
