Uncle John, I just wrote a long overdue letter to you. I am so not ready for this news. I know in my heart you're happy to be with Aunt Suzanne and Sambeaux, but we will miss you hear. I remember watching your photos from Africa and thinking to myself I want to go there someday as a little girl. And I remember all the travel stories and that you and Aunt Suzanne took my mom on many trips. Our holidays for a fun time where we got to hear your stories and see Aunt Suzanne's and your love. I remember you singing even now almost like I can hear it and I thought it was really cool to be in barbershop quartet. There are recent trip to the football game where we got soaked and laughed hysterically with Mom. You will be missed. Love Dorothy Marie .

Uncle John, I will miss your stories and your singing. You and Aunt Suzanne always made your visits fun. Your travels and sharing your pictures of Africa made me want to travel, posting a pic of you and Aunt Suzanne and Mom on your many trips together. I wasn't ready for this news. I just finished a long overdue letter to you, I feel you are at peace with Aunt Suzanne in heaven. Love you. Dorothy Marie
