I cannot hardly believe you are gone. My heart
Is broken. My dear Christy and your beautiful
family know how much you loved them.
I think of all the family times we had together. I
so think of all the fun times when Dad was around
and you two would make all of us laugh the whole
time. The times you and Christy would come and we would sit
sit on the patio till late in the night. Please do now worry
about Christy she is strong and she has so many
people that love her. I could go on forever. I love you so much.
Your little sister . Tricia

Diane and I send our regrets to John’s family and our cousins for his passing. During our childhood together, we fondly knew him as “Scooter”. I ran across his telephone number and immediately called him. We didn’t talk long, but the conversation was cordial and informative. We will miss him and regret not being with all of you in person
