I wish I could be there with you! I miss and love you all very much! My heart is deeply saddened–Uncle John will always be remembered and with us in spirit. I have such fond memories of him from my childhood as if it were yesterday. He was one of the kindest most compassionate men I ever knew. His love for his family was abundant. I was truly blessed to have such a wonderful man as my Uncle. Aunt Joyce I know how devastating it is to lose the one you love–be strong, know that he is at peace and still by your side. You are blessed to have a loving family. My prayers are with all of you. I will always smile when I think of Uncle John. Love and Hugs–Robin
