I was so saddened to hear about Uncle John. Even though he wasn't at Auntie Lee's house while we were in Boston, he was in our hearts. When I think of Uncle John, I always see him in my mind with a smile on his face! I am so thankful that we all got together. I am thinking of you, Aunt Ellie and Judy Ellen. Much love, Mary Lou

I am deeply saddened by Uncle John's passing. I will always remember my days growing up with Uncle John living right next door. Our families have some of the most wonderful memories of days gone by. Although our family members are slowly leaving us, they will always be in our hearts.
