So sorry to hear of John's passing. I still remember our youth. The days on the farm and family reunions. Since moving from East Aurora to Ohio in the 50's We lost touch. I never had the pleasure to meet any of John's family after he was married. I still and will always have the fond memories. My prayers and condolences go to the family

Dear Sandy,

I am saddend to hear about John. It seems like nary a day goes by that I don't think about the farm and my time there. You were both a huge part of my youth and I've always maintained that where I am today is because of my time spent on the farm. Kim's and my prayers and thoughts are with you and may God be with you also.

Love,
Gerry and Kim

Dear Sandy,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad time. May your memories bring you comfort. I will always treasure my childhood memories of the farm. John would always take the time to show me a good time and make me laugh. He was truly a wonderful man with a great sense of humor. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.
Love,
Cousin John

Dear Sandy:
My deepest sympathy to you and family. May God's promise of the resurrection comfort you at this time. This life is too short to be all there is! I will remember John as always having a smile and greeting. He was a part of my youth and when we came to the farm John was always there. He was down to earth and an all around nice guy.
Sincerely,
Cousin Jane (Offhaus) Morse
