Frances. Words can never express the heartfelt sorrow for your loss. Having been through this twice I can say that the days ahead will be tough. You will endure all emotions. Let yourself grieve in whatever way you choose. It isn’t the same for everyone. I love you with all my heart and will always be here for you. Love you so much sister. Forever and always!!

Frances Sure sorry to hear about John's passing. I always enjoyed seeing him and being around him. John always had some witty comment to liven up the conversation. He never lost his sense of humor. The world could use more folks like him. Sincerely, Chuck
