Just learned of John´s sudden death and I am so very sorry. We didn´t talk often, but it was always a pleasure to catch up on the family and share memories of David and his parents. I will miss knowing he is still present in this world. At this time, it doesn´t seem possible for me to be at the service, however, my thoughts and prayers will be with all of you.
