To The Family,

ALthough we were in the Oxford congregation, we would see John and Theresa when we visited their congregation and at assemblies and conventions. What a beautiful and pleasant couple, always smiling and full of good words. A hint of the personalities to be found in the new system. Please accept our sincere condolences for your loss and may we thank Jehovah for the hope that we have. Both John & Theresa shared that hope. Jehovah dosn't forget our service to him and both were good and faithful slaves.
