To Cheri, Laura, Angie, Jennifer and the rest of the family,
I was saddened to hear about the passing of John. He was a great friend to our family, especially to my dad, who dad loved just like a brother. While we grieve for him here, I can imagine that he is walking the streets of heaven with my dad, his brothers and other loved ones. I am lifting all of you up in prayer, asking God to wrap His mighty arms of love around you, to comfort and encourage you, and give you the strength that you need in the days ahead.
Love you all, Bob and Beverly Goodwin and family
