Joan, David and family, I was so sad to hear of John's passing. I will keep vivid images in my mind of the 3 of you at Family Cafe, and the many times I ran into you and Joan at Publix or Family Care Council meetings. What a privilege and blessing it has been to know John and your family. Prayers for strength and comfort. Many friends are here for you.
