Kiera and family....
I'm truly sorry for your loss. The loss of a man who would do anything for anyone. What a priceless quality.
I've only known him a short time through his fight for life. He worked so hard for his business and his family.
You were lucky to be in his orbit.
Rest in peace, John. Your family will always need you. Keep a watchful eye on them.
Love,
Aunt Miriam
