I will always remember visiting Aunt Kate and Uncle Johnny, enjoying Kattie's cooking and playing with Johnny's bird dogs. Going to the cabin was always fun. They were very special people to our whole family.

Mr Totten was a very dear friend and a kind and gentle person. He always had someway to make you laugh and look on the brighter side of everything. He served his family and country well and now is receiving his reward with his heavenly father. We will all miss you John.

Mr.Totten will be very much missed by some people, especially my parents (Bell & De). Mom & Dad were wonderful caregivers to him and cherished every moment they spent together but were denied time with him during his last days. We will miss him dearly for he was a big part of our lives. Rest in peace, Mr. Totten. We all love you!
