Dear Suzanne & family,
We were so very saddened to hear of John's passing. I know we haven't been in touch much over the years, but our thoughts have always included the many fun and happy times we shared. I know this is a difficult time for you, the children and the grandchildren but, as families do, you will rally around each other and provide comfort and support to each other over the next weeks, months and years. We are praying for you, and may God bless you and the family. All our love, Gary Ross family.
