How lucky for Heaven that John has attained his angel wings for all eternity. Those of us who were blessed to work with him at The Herald know the depth of his intelligence, compassion and mercy for all souls, with the greatest being love. Hugs to all the Cronins and to all my Herald family members as we pray for John's eternal rest in peace with Our Lord, Jesus Christ.
