Janet, Christopher, Michelle and Kathy and your families have my condolences on the loss of John. As a boy with John being older than me that I looked up to him and remember following him around. I guess that is what cousin's were for. I also remember Christmas gatherings with our grandparents, Aunt Willie, Kathy and John. As we have grown older, I have not seen John very often, but we but it was good to run into him from time to time. You are in my prayers as you grief the loss of John. Mike Thombleson
