Sue,Bob,Sara,and Annie,
I was shocked and very saddened to read about John's death. his must be a very difficult time for all of you. I remember as if it were yesterday all of you children playing together. I smile when I think of the day that Katie cut her hair when she and John were playing together at your house on Southfield. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you.
