Lani,
I am so sad to hear this news and I'm sorry I did not find out until after the services. You and John always treated me like family whenever I visited you. I admired John very much for how tough he was and his determination to succeed. We had many great times together at your house. Please let me know if there is anything you need during this difficult time.
Love,
Andy Thornton
