Dear Rosalie, Scott, Shelly, and Jill,
I always loved John. Although I only had the pleasure of meeting him and spending time with him a few times, he always made me feel so special. He exuded so much love and when I was with him, I was couldn't stop smiling. The type of guy that you just want to hug. It is very rare that you meet someone as nice, caring, and genuine as John was. He is now watching over his beautiful family and at peace. He definitely has some loving company who is also close to my heart up in heaven and I hope you find strength in knowing that John's legacy lives on through all of you and through his wonderful grandchildren.
Love,
Jen Schaeffer
