Joyce,
I was very sorry to learn of John's passing. My heartfelt condolences to you and his children.
Being in the same stage of life now, I wish you strength and the blessings of friends and family.
May you also carry and feel John in your heart and mind. Enjoy the blessings of the many years that you shared and the knowledge that you have received and given the gift of love.
I hope that one day our paths may cross again.

To Joyce, my deepest heartfelt sympathy.
To John, a friend who holds a little piece of my heart. I will see you again, perhaps by a little stream in Evolene.

We know that John is now leading the bass section of God's heavenly choir as he did for so many years with QCS. He is and always will be part of our 'Familia'.
