To the Family of John Hughes:
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for your loss. May the memories of happy times and the love of family and friends encourage you in the days ahead. May the scriptures comfort you and give you hope and strength. Please hold on to the hope that only God can give as highlighted at Matthew 6:10 and Psalm 37:10, 11, 29 where we are reminded that it is God's will that we live forever in the abundance of peace and exquisite delight under His Kingdom that is soon to come to this earth.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Mr. Hughes was a great man, and always quick to offer a beer and fire up the grill after several lacrosse games. The Hughes home in Deerfield was always a place where everyone was made to feel welcome! We have nothing but fond memories of him.
Deepest sympathy to all of you!
