To John and the rest of the family my deepest condolences on the loss of your love one Iniah. It's been many years since I've seen Ina after leaving American Juice. It was truly a pleasure knowing her. I remember When her and John got married she was so happy. May God continue to give you all strength and put his loving arms around you all. Be blessed.
