Dear Bob, Kathy, Barbara, Mike and Julie,
I am so sorry to hear about John's death. He is with his beloved Twyla now. Twyla and John were two of the nicest, sweetest people ever born. John was always so friendly and caring and it was a pleasure to know him. He was a gentleman and his son, Bob, and his grandson, Mike, are following his example.
Barbara was so good to John. He adored her. His last years were spent with Barb at his side taking care of his every need.
Know that you are all my "family" and I will be praying for you and loving you. God Bless You, Aunt Jeanie
