Dear Jennie,

I was so sorry to hear about the passing of your brother John. My thoughts are with you not just now during this difficult time but all of the time. I have known you my whole life and I love you very much. I never had the pleasure of meeting your brother John but I am sure he was as kind and wonderful as you. I will be in touch with you soon and if you need anything at all I am here for you always. Love always, Susan Grebber

He was a great grandpa. He was a hard worker, loved his family and was always honest with me. Praise God I'm confident that he's in the presence of the Lord Jesus as so I expect to see him again. Not only do I have the same blood as him and the same name as him, I share the same Saviour as him. Grandpa Ricci's earthly life was truly one to emulate. Now he enjoys live everlasting on the other side.
