I am sorry to have missed the funeral for John. I send my sympathy to Emele (Sis to me) and my cousins. John was like a brother to my dad. I am sure Al is welcoming John now.

Just read obituary for John. I am sorry to have not made the funeral. My sympathy to Emele ( or Sis to me) and my cousins. Always thought of John as close to my dad almost a brother. Love to all .
