Clara, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. John was such a sweet man and a kind and thoughtful neighbor, always looking out for others. Just a few days ago he was asking me if my mother (Donna) was OK. He looked out for others and he was so friendly to me when I visited Mom. I am thinking of you and your family. Wendy Szarwak (Donna's daughter).
