We remember so many times seeing John and Virginia working in their garden and to our amazement, not realizing their age. We will forever cherish the many conversations had with John about his yard, and love for his family. We will miss John.
Our prayer for comfort and strength are with you, Virginia and Carole.
Love the Wilkins (Van and Brenda)
