Odella - I just found out about John's passing. (We were on vacation.) You were such a devoted wife through all of John's illness. You were open with your struggles and were an inspiration to others. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

My condolences go out to Mrs. Leggett, family and friends. He was a wonderful man and has left us all with great memories. I remember back when we were neighbors in Hickory and he would give us rides on his motorcycle ☺ Great man who will be missed by all!
Love to all,
