Not sure what to say?





We said goodbye to a wonderful man, out Dear John. But that is only for a time. We will all see him again one day. We keep him with us here on earth by remembering him in our hearts and speaking of him often. I truly believe this is how we know John is with us in spirit. When your heart twinges, that is his hug. John is in such good hands now. And I 'know' he looks upon us from a truly special place.
With love..Marie
