Sue, I think & pray for you every day. I pray that you feel the love and sympathy that people are sending your way. I pray for peace to be with you. Even though I believe that I only met John one time in person, I feel I knew him because I know you. When you spend 56 years together, you become such a big part of each other. He was a lucky man, in my opinion!
With Love & Sympathy,
Becky 🙏✌❤
