John always told me that he loved his God, and that he treated him as his son. Now the father has called his dear one home, and they are rejoycing. Ginnie, it was my pleasure to take care of your beloved husband. May you and the boys rest in our Fathers love and comfort. I wish I could be there to celebrate his life with you, unfortunatly I am out of state, but you will be in my prayers.
