Dear Kathy, Nina and Max,

I have just recently learned of your loss and am so sorry to hear about John. My heartfelt sympathy and prayers go out to your family. I wish that we had more of an opportunity to get together over the years as I only met John at your wedding and a few times after. He was such a great person and he was fortunate to have been blessed with such a wonderful wife and children. Keep your memories dear to you as I know he is still watching over you all.

Love,

Sharon

Kathy,Nina and Max, I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with John at St. Martin's. He was a great teacher and the children learned so much from him. I also learned so much from him! John gave me ideas and suggestions for Math lessons that I still use. Nina and Max, he always was so excited and proud when he spoke about both of you, I remember Nina even coming to school with "daddy" He will always be with all of you, God bless!
