Mrs. Trombley and family,
I was saddened to learn of Jack's passing. He was among several cousins that I never had the pleasure of meeting. May the grief you have today subside, but never let the memories fade. God Bless.

John was a patient of ours at Dr. Liu's office. I had the pleasure of knowing him for a short time as I work there as an MA. Both him and Marion always had bright smiles on their faces and were always so kind. He will be missed dearly. Thoughts and prayers are with family and friends.
