We will love and miss Uncle John. I am so glad you both were able to visit us a few years ago. We had so much fun with you both that weekend.

Donna and Family,
I was so sorry to read about your Dad's passing.
He must have been quite a guy, if his daughter was anything like him.
I know he was very proud of his daughter and her accomplishments, both at work and at home.
During this Eastertide, you remain in my prayers.
