Dear Mrs. Minter, I am very sorry to hear about Mr. John passing away. He was always such a nice man to me and my family. I worked with Ms. Helen at the courthouse for many years. She was always thankful for her family and spoke of her son John, and you often. God gives us the greatest gift of all, memories, so we can hold our loved ones close to our hearts...May the peace of Jesus give you comfort during this difficult time..Love
