Too much loss so close together.
It is so difficult to bare it all.
We were recently with you to celebrate new life.
God blessed the family with renewal.
John got to hold the newest generation in his arms.
Now, he is held in the arms of our Lord.
Take comfort knowing he is at peace.
Our Love & Prayers Are With You,
