Mary, Carol, John, & Families - I am so sorry for your loss. You have got to know he's in a better place. No suffering now. Since Barbara passed, & I heard John was not doing well, I have spent the past 10 days reliving so many childhood memories.We really did have fun, the 3 families together. Please let us know when the Memorial is going to be held.
