Dear Dolly Annette and Dorrie,
I'm so sorry to learn of John's passing.
My prayers and thoughts are with all of you.
Dolly I will never forget how wonderful you were when my father and brother Tom passed!
Annette and Dorrie, I remember enjoying giving the two of you bike rides when you were little girls! That was a long time ago
when life was so much different than it is today.
May John rest in peace.

Annette, my deepest condolences to you and your family. I've known and loved you for more than 30 years and although I felt like I knew him, never had the pleasure of meeting him. I am sure that heaven has received another angel and I know that you did every humanly thing possible to be at his side. Feel blessed!! I know there is comfort in knowing that!!! I love you my friend!! Your mother will need you so much more now and I know your there for her. Memorial Eternal
