I am so sorry to hear of John's death. he is with Bev now, I know it was very hard for him after Bev died. Reading the guest book brings back memories, I remember John and Bev talking about the party's at Mike and Linda's so many years ago, must be almost 20 years ago now. They hadn't been getting out much for the last few years but they always had each other.If you wanted to see them you went to their house,(they really enjoyed company), they were always grateful to Pat, Keith, and Gary for stopping by often to visit and make sure that they were okay. They were very blessed to have you guys, as they got older they needed help and you were there, because you Loved them so very much! God bless you!
