Dear cousins Wendy, Dennis and Jeff,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your dad has been a part of your lives for a long time. It must be hard to let go. I have many fond memories of Johnny from my family's visits to Sycamore during my childhood. I was pleased to have seen him and visited with him just a few years ago. He hadn't changed. Still sharing his friendly welcoming smile and hardy laugh. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
