I have not seen you since you were that little baby.
Feel free to contact me, if you' like. I am very sorry that I am just finding out about this. My prayers are with you and your family. God Bless you!

To the Little Family:
Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. I met John in the Summer of 1994 when he, l and other NN educators served the East End Community as proponents for
