Dear Donna, Mary, Angela, John & Daniel,
So sorry for all the sadness you are feeling right now. God chose to take John home, but he is still there with all of you in spirit. There is so much of him inside of each one of you, that he can never really die. He may have gone home to a very peaceful place, but he is still alive in each one of your hearts and he always will be. Find peace in knowing that someday you will be with him again.
We pray that your love of God and love for each other, will carry you through this sad time.
Always in our thoughts and forever in our prayers,
All Our Love, Nancy & Nick
