Dear Dana and Williams Family,
I was sad to learn of John's passing and even sadder to hear that I could not be present at his funeral Mass on Monday to give my condolences in person. John was such a kind gentleman. I felt an instant friendship with him. We attended morning Mass together often at St. Mary's and at Epiphany. He will be missed by us all. I know he loved his family very much and loved attending Mass and parish activities like the picnic with
Dana. May God bless you all and grant you comfort, peace and healing in the sure kknowledge that John is with our Lord, Jesus! My prayers and thoughts are with you all.
Peace in Christ,
Linda Moll
