Hi Deborah, so sorry to hear of John´s passing. Patricia O´Connor 7782125800

Much love from his children, alley and forest.

So very sorry to hear of John's passing. I met John & Debra while doing site work at their home in San Marin, John and Debra welcomed me in their home as friend! Debra my sincere condolences to you, family and friends. I'm sure little John is not so little, and Tamera has grown into a beautiful young lady...

John, my forever love will be in my heart and soul and go with me on my forever journeys until we meet again.

So whatever good I can do today, let me do it today: for I shall not pass this way again". That was JOHN. I will have more to say.....
