Dear Marlene and Mother Hrenko
I just wanted to let you know that a priest did give John his last rites on Tuesday afternoon about 5 p.m. and that I was sleeping when he passed on, but he seemed very peaceful most of the day and evening. It was nice knowing you for those few hours, but wish it was not under those circumstances.
May God bless you in your time of mourning.
