John W. Crowningshield

Dear Bonnie
I'm sorry I have not been in contact since your father's fall but I have heard updates from my mother, Eileen Ratcliffe and my brother, Nigel. I was so sorry to hear of John's declining health and now of his passing. I have been in contact with John each Christmas for many years in an exchange of letters. What a warm and charming man he was - it shone through his letters which were a joy to read. Please accept my sincere sympathy at this sad time. John will be sadly missed by my mother - as your dear mother, Mary, has been. Best wishes,

Dear Bonnie and David,

We extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family. What a complete and wonderful life your father had. May treasured memories help to bring you comfort and peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Ruelaine and Daniel Peters

Bonnie,
Our friendship with John & Mary goes back about 40 years to when Geoffrey met them whilst on a business trip to Boston for the first Harrier jump jets. Since then there has been much correspondence but we treasure especially the times when we were able to see them in person. We admired Mary's artistic talents very much and all of John's good work for the Magnolia community. John's friendship was a comfort to Eileen in recent years when she was on her own. John will be sorely missed over here, as much as Mary has been. Our thoughts are with you and all of your family at this sad time.
From the Ratcliffe family

Bonnie & Nancy - I remember your father as a true gentleman. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Jack+
