Loraine, Sue, Dan, and Steve, I am so very sorry to hear of John's death. I have many good childhood memories of being with him, and with you as well later. Thank you for always keeping in touch with Mom and Dad. He and you always took the bonds of family seriously. May God be especially close at this time and may He hold you in the hollow of His hand. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you at this sad time. Love, Mary Anne and Tom Culbertson

Dear Lorraine and family, Ted and Arlene, and Joann Hinton,
We are so sorry to lose our beloved cousin and your husband, father, grandfather, and brother,

It brings back so many memories from my childhood: coffee after church at Grandma DeVries, movies at Uncle George and Aunt Joe's in the kitchen, card games...
