Not sure what to say?

Anna I have your deepest sympathy. From your former coworker.

Johnny Durbin was a great guy who worked hard and loved his family very much. Clyde told me they not only worked together at Footwear, but rode tricycles together as little kids. Our hearts are broken for the family. He left too soon and I know he will be missed so much.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. He was a good friend of my family. We will miss you.
