No words can even begin to express the deep sympathy I have for you and Bailey at this time of sadness. My twins played with John or as we called him Johnny many years ago at Ray and Charlotte's cottage on the bay shore. Time is very precious and there is never enough of it to make us feel we have had enough Lynn Johnson Clearwater FL
