Dear Kauffman Family,(John)
You are in my prayers and thoughts. May you find comfort in the loving arms of Our God. May God bless each of you.
I went to school with John Kauffman that I think is a Dr. I do not know if this is the same John or not. You are in my prayers.
In Christ Love,

Please accept my sincere sympathy for the loss of your grandmother, Dr. Kauffman. I read the obituary wrong and thought it was you Mother. Either way, I am sorry for the loss.
