I just wanted to write and express my deepest sympathy for Marie and the entire family. I met John when he was in high school and I was just a kid. He was always nice to me and a pleasure to be around. Everyone liked "Big John" or at least as far as I knew they did. His battle is now over and I know there will be tough days ahead for the family but God will be your strength if you allow him to be. May God bless and keep all of you in his tender care. I lost my dad in 07 and I have found that God's grace truly is sufficient.
