To the Dryer family. First of all, my apology for the delay in this. Second, my sincere condolences on losing John. He was as nice of a person as they came and I still cannot believe he is gone. My hope is he is not suffering anymore and I hope God helps you all not to suffer. God bless.

Dear Pat and Ted, Please accept most sincere sympathies from my husband, Rich and I, in the loss of your son, John. It seems like yesterday that Cathy, John and Suzie were playing with their cousins, our nephews, Bryan and Michael. Although many years have passed, I have vivid memories of all of their excited faces as they watched what was captured by the nets after seining in the Metedeconk River. It gave me great joy to see them playing and laughing on the beach at the Club. May John rest in peace, as he is now in God's care.
