We are sorry we can not express our sympathies in person, Barbara, but please know we are thinking of you and your family. John was so comfortable to be around, with his constant smile, and quick laugh. May God grant you peace and grace during your great loss.

Jeff, Holly, Alex and Joe,

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I don't think I ever met your dad Jeff but I do remember how very much he was a part of your lives as to how much I heard about he and your mom.

hugs to you all....
