Denise and Family,
I'm sorry to hear that you have lost your beloved John. John and I were friends in high school and he was my plumber, too. John was one of the nicest men I ever knew and everyone like him. I too, lost my husband 2 years ago. He and John got to know each other when he did plumbing at our home. I know that you are grieving now, but I hope you find confort when you remember all of the good times you had together.
