Sending our deepest sympathy for your loss. We have so many years of memories and laughs. I'll always remember when John would drive by our house in the police car while I was mowing the lawn- toot the horn and make me wonder if I'd done something wrong. We'd shout out a hello and give a laugh. God be with you at this time of sorrow.
