John loved you very much and he told me so several times. he always had a smile and something good to say to me. I will miss the bantering back and forth that he and I shared at The Spar Pole. I am here if you ever need help.

Dear Annie, In our time of mourning, we often forget all the wonderful memories a loved one leaves behind. As you reflect back on those fun times, don't forget all the great memories you will have in the future with the loving family you both have created. John may be gone, but never forgotten. You were a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother, and I know he appreciated you in many ways you never knew!

I had the privilege of working with John at the landfill. He was the nicest of persons. He always had a joke and a smile. He always spoke of his family with such love especially his wife. Wish there was more people like him. My life as well as many others was much nicer because of his ready smile and laughter.
