Karen, Jessica, Casey and Christine, I am so, so sorry for your loss. John & I had a long working relationship and a became good friends. I know how much he loved his family. From the day I met him you guys were always in his conversation and he was always bragging about all of you. He worked so hard to give you a good life and a good future. It was so important to him that you all were happy. He was one of the most devoted father's I've ever known. Keep that in your hearts. Know, that although I can't be there you are all in my prayers.
Love,
Judi Entress
