Terri and family,
It's hard to know just what to say when someone close has passed away but hope that it will help somehow to know warm thoughts are with you now. I'm sorry can't begin to let you know our feelings for your loss. You are in our prayers.

To the members of John's family,
It is with great sadness that I read of John's death. We lived at 918 S. 24th St., just 8 houses away from the Maynard family and we spent our childhood making memories together. One story has been shared many, many times and causes everyone to belly laugh over it: We all knew that we had to be home by supper time, but many times we would hear Mrs. Maynard calling, "John, John, it's supper time!". No response.The next call went out a few minutes...
