Georgi:
Our deepest sympathy on the loss of your precious John. I know how wonderful you two were together. Like peas and carrots always complimenting each other. Your marriage was so tender towards one another. We always admired you both as our neighbors for 12 years. John sure took so much pride in his lawn, even after he had it mowed by a lawn co. He would still go out last summer and put put on his mower for hours. And he took so much pride in that garden. I know the past few years as his health declined it was becoming much more difficult for him to do these tasks. I know those darn chipmunks gave him so much grief. We discussed so many options to rid ourselves of them. He was a wonderful man. So kind and his sense of humor. He always made me smile. We are so sorry for your loss Georgi. Remember the fond memories of him and cherish the wonderful times you shared together over the years. May God see over you during this difficult time and give you strength. Our sincere condolences. Your old neighbors.
Sincerely,
Mike & Kim Gran
