Dear Mary and family:
On behalf of the Watts family from Medfield and Pembroke, I want to express our sympathy. I always enjoyed talking to John on the phone when I called you. What I enjoyed most was how he liked using the emergency light with siren which I sent to you.
Mary, life will be different but you will always have great memories and the loving support of your family.
