You will be missed John, loved having you up our house for dinner. You never said you didn't like what I served, except you didn't like the French Vanilla coffee, your exact words were I don't like it!
You were a great brother to Harry, a great brother-in-law to me and a super uncle to Laura and John.
Rest In Peace Love,
Amy
