Not sure what to say?

My deepest sypmathy to John's family. My mother (Reba) looked forward to dancing with him and many, many times, she would come home and tell me what a good time they had. That meant so much to my mother, and her friend Faye. He was always polite, and a gentleman with them.

My deepest Sympathy do Chloe and the family. My Mother loved to have the opportunity to dance with John. I remember him well, and I know you will cherish hes memory. My condolences to to Chloe and all the family.

I loved dancing with John..not only was he one of the best dancers, we also discussed a lot of things while on the dance floor. He was such a good friend and I've missed him for the past few years. RIP my friend.
