So today is Vann's birthday. Vann and I worked together at John Hancock Insurance for several years, and studied for and received our CLU together. We were good friends for many years, but had lost touch in recent times.

Needless to say, I'm so sorry to have looked Vann up and learn he died at such a young age.

Joan, I remember when you and Vann were married, and I send you my condolences. Vann was a super bright man with a tremendous personality. I pray for you and the children that God has granted you peace.

So thanks, Vann, for the many good times together, and I pray you are resting in peace.
