Dear Cousins,
I am sorry to hear of Johnny's passing. I remember all the fun we had & all the trouble we got into in Clinton & in Berlin. I'm sure he & Barbara are together again. We skated on the pond & slid on cardboard down the mud pile near the barn back in the good old days. There's was always a lot of laughing when Johnny was around. I, too, have great memories of him. I live in Narrigansett RI now so unfortunately I'm not able to make it to the services. Please be sure that my prayers are with all of you. Love, Joanne Bellucci Noel and Family

My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends. Jeremiah 29:11, 12 assures us that God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope, and when we come and pray to Him, He will listen to us. May this bring you comfort in this time of sorrow.
