Miss you uncle John. May your sails be full.

Dear Flo:
My sincerest condolences on John's passing. I always enjoyed talking to you both at the Commanderie de Bordeaux events, you and he made a venerable pair. We will miss his presence but I hope you feel you have enough friends among us to come to the events alone when you are ready.

Dear Anne, Mrs. Bryan and family-

We were so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Bryan. Although we did not have the pleasure of knowing him, knowing Anne confirms he must have been a remarkable man. Our sympathy to you and your family.

I first met John when invited to dinner at his home in Sugar Bowl CA. He was a warm and effusive host and has remained a friend ever since. He will be missed. Much love to Flo and the family. Linda Dyer Millard
