Trudy,

All of your friends in TBC, Mother Frances and Grace Community Church mourn the passing of John. He was a dear friend and is greatly missed by all of us. Since we heard the news, John Lewis stories have been passing back and forth starting with the first time Galen took him down Killer Hill on the bicycle, to the baker's dozen ribs at Dick's house, and to the ice cream sandwiches. Please let me hear from you.
