Dear Darlene and Robyn,
We were all stunned and saddened at the news of John Edward's passing. We are never prepared for these things!
As cousins growing up in the 50's, the Busbys and the Mangolds spent endless weekends, vacations and playtime enjoying each others company. The memories were so good they have lasted our lifetimes!
May your cherished memories of each other bring you and those you love peace and comfort until you meet again!
Even though our families are away and cannot be present for John's service, we will be remembering you all in our prayers with thanksgiving!
On behalf of the Mangold Family,
Barbara Mangold Bragg
