Mom I'm sorry I coulden't make it to the funeral for either you or dad. my life hasn't been the greatest lately. I know you and dad are together now and very happy. You were good to me and had a lot of influence in my life. I'll miss you both. Johnny as you called me.

It's hard to believe so many years have
passed since we were neighbors with your family. It was a precious time when you all were so young and care free.
Running in and out of all the yards and having kool-aid and snacks with all the neighbor kids.
Those were such good times and your Mom and your Dad
were always willing to help and be such good neighbors.
We will always remember those days and
how happy you all were.
We are so sorry for the void you will have in your lives and what all the grandchildren and great grands will miss.
May God be ever so close to each of you as HE fills the void you will have in your hearts.
