Dear Laurie and family we are very sorry for your loss. We knew John from Sears at first but kept in touch in Newton. I remember John being a avid fisherman and I know he loved doing the woodworking. I remember when you raised the house up in Newton with all the rain. Once again we are very sorry for your loss.

Dear Laurie and Family,

I am so sorry for the loss of John. Words alone can't take away the pain you are feeling now. I know how hard it is to lose someone around the holidays. I pray that God gives you the strength to get through this and heals your hearts. My deepest condolences to all of you. Keep the memories alive. God bless you all.
