Dear Nancy, So sorry to hear about Jon. He was such a great guy. You two were made for each other. We are happy you got to live the dream in Florida. Our thoughts are with you and Steve and Scott. We will remember all the good times but especially your 50th wedding anniversary party! Love, Molly and Tim

So sorry to read of Jon's passing. I remember our school days and many fun memories. Losing my husband 2 years ago and recently my daughter...I pray you will be comforted by the times he made you smile. Those are what you must hold on to. May he rest in peace.

I'm so sorry Nancy to read of John's death just last night. When talking to you from Joan's in March, I didn't realize how serious his condition was. Please accept my condolences and thoughts being sent to you and the rest of the family. I am glad,though, that we were able to touch base with both of you. With fondness and great memories. Lesley
