I was shocked to see about John in the paper. You two moved, but have always been in our hearts. John & you were special friends. He will be missed, but we will always remember the good times @ EUB and Faith Church. I loved his family dearly. His mom,Barbara Morris and I always sat together in church choir. Ah, sweet memories of life..We had so much fun.
Hugs and prayers to all, and
God Bless each of you.

What a shock to our family! We had no idea where anyone was and recently talked about how to get in touch with the two of you. We could always stay somewhat connected through Stella, but she is gone too. Our next step was to try through the churches.We certainly miss your whole family. Ron and I found out through the Franklin Library - Midd. Journal. We couldn't be anymore sorry to hear of our old friend's passing. Please feel our love and hugs surrounding you, along with God's arms. Where have all the years gone, that we should reach this point in life? We will miss dear sweet Johnny. Remembering all the family ties and the good times we had with all of you...

Blanche,
I am so sorry for your loss. I am out of town. Teri had to have surgery so I won't be able to be there for visitation or the funeral. I just wanted to let you know how much you meant to my children and I miss seeing you also. I can say I truly know what you are going through. Keep busy and know that you are all in my prayers.
Love,
