Phyllis and family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. So sorry for your loss. John was such a sweetheart.
He was my third grade Sunday school teacher at St. John's Episcopal Church so long ago! It was so wonderful talking to you and John at St. Marks for so many years. I enjoyed our conversations.

Love,
Barb and Kim Brothers
