Cathy, and families, I am so sad to learn of John’s passing. About 28 hrs ago, I was on the phone with Melanie Morgan, telling her how John loved the sun so much that in March he would be sitting out on the patio soakin’ it in. I bet he would have loved this heat. What a wonderful person, and he did love all of you so very much. God bless you all, and may John now rest in peace with Our Lord. Love you all
