Dear Irene and Family: Please accept my deepest condolences. I always felt so blessed that God had given me John and you, Irene, as highly cherished friends. John has been much in my prayers and thoughts the last few months. I am sorry that I've not been able to visit since before Christmas. I developed atrial fibrillation and a new medication for diabetes. I've not done so well on them and stayed close to home. Gerry and I will be at the funeral Saturday. Love and sympathies to all the family. Be assured of our continued prayers.
