Dear Donna and family - I was heartbroken to hear of John's passing. John delivered to my place of business and was the highlight of my week. He always had a smile and kind word. Even though I did not know him long, please know that he made an impact on my life. He will be missed. You and yours will be in my thoughts.

I'm sorry to read of Mickey's passing and hope that your memories of him will provide a salve to the loss. I've known Mickey for over 40 years starting when he dated my sister-in-law and continuing when he delivered paper products to the plant where I worked. It was always a pleasure to spend a few minutes catching up with him. I haven't seen him for a few yesrs but miss the visits. God bless
