Karen and family,

You have lost a loving husband, a brother, a brother-in-law, an uncle, and I have lost a dear friend. I am so grateful that I got to spend some with both of you recently.

I will remember John also as a man of courage who faced his medical issues with dignity. How blessed he was to have you and the rest of his family and friends as a support system.

Now....may he rest in peace.

Love and hugs to you all,
