Dearest Betty,
So sorry for the loss of John. Thanks for sharing him with so many as he was a charming and witty fellow. From his teaching at BRCC to our shared trips to NYC, I am so happy to know you both.

Dear Betty,
Dean and I wish to extend our deepest sympathies to you and your family during this difficult time. We have such wonderful memories of John.
It was always such a treat when John came into the shop. Especially for me, because I usually got a new book but always got an entertaining tale! I miss him already and think of you both often. He was a wonderful man and we wish you eventual peace and comfort.
