Please remeber all of the years you shared with each other, laughing, crying and listening to each other. Go back to the years that we all played wiffle ball at Valley Street Park, walked to school in the cold snow, shared a vanilla coke and sitting on the front porch just talking. John, she always loved you with all of her heart and soul and will be your angel watching over you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
