I am sorry to hear of your loss Kelly. Deepest sympathies.
We would like to extend our sincere condolences to Margie and Julie, Kelly, James, and SueEllen on the passing of John. Our sympathy and thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
It's always saddest for those left behind but i believe when a person makes the journey to the next life it is but a new adventure. Stay strong and cherish the good memories.
When I think of my Uncle (and Godfather) John, I am reminded of his jovial laugh, his keen intellect, and his caring heart. I cherish the memories of our wonderful conversations on his visits back to Saint John, and the randomness of the transportation methods he chose to employ in getting here. To Aunt Margie, and to Kelly, Julie, SueEllen and James, please know you have my deepest condolences and love.
