Dear Kathy, Olivia & Katie, Christopher, Ellie, Leo & Dottie
I was very sad to read of John's passing just a moment ago. My father Frank Bonk was one of John & Kathy's clients. He always spoke so highly of you. I grew up in Franklin, but I moved to Santa Monica when I was 21.
I live on 4th Street, less than a mile from your former office at 429 Santa Monica Boulevard.
I know how much you will miss John, but he will live on in your hearts and in so many precious memories for the rest of your days.
My thoughts and my prayers are with you.
