John you were such a hugh part of the Santos/Colman clan. Your love for Nana Mary makes me want to have that same love. My boys loved talking with you about being deployed and the hugh vast differences in gear you had and they have. I won’t forget the day I delivered a strawberry shortcake to you. You were so excited. I’m happy you will see Nana Mary and believe in eternal peace. You made a hugh difference in many lives. See you on the other side.
