May the good Lord bless and comfort you today and always. May John rest in peace.
A lifetime of memories have our families enjoying time together and even though we haven't been together for quite some time you have been my thoughts often. I regret that I was not able to make it to the services today but you are my prayers. God bless and keep you.

Dearest Nadine and family, I'm so sorry to hear about John. I know all of us here cherish the times we spent together. You, John, dad & mom playing damit whenever we got together and a smoke filled room. Mom is in re-hab so I will go tomorrow and tell her. I know she will be upset that she can't be there for you, but you know you will be in her thoughts and prayers as with the rest of us. God Bless all of you! We Love YOU! Love, Myra Lyon and our whole family!
