John: thank you for taking such good care of Nancy for a lot of years. You were a hard worker and could outwork a lot of people even half your age. I know Raymond loved you dearly and always enjoyed any time he got to visit with you. We enjoyed a lot of laughs through the years. Thanks for the wonderful memories. You were loved.
