Dear Gail
I just heard about your beloved husband John going home and so our husbands are together now while we still continue our journey not quite finished yet. Those were the good ole days of football and all the annual reunions we attended throughout the years. We continue with our prayers for them as we know they are praying for all of us. God bless, Diane Guesman

Dear Gail,

Dear Gail,
I only knew you guys casually from Starbucks, Youngfield but was always impressed with (and am envious of) the strength of your
relationship. John was obviously a wonderful man -- a gentle
warrior in the best sense. Please accept my deepest condolences.
