My parents, Jerry and Jack Watson, who now live in Las Vegas, send their condolences. My Aunt Mary Jane, saw the notice, but it was not until a few days after. I was in Chicago for a few days, and she showed it to me.

My parents speak of the fine memories our families had together in the early years of their( and your) marriage, and we have films and slides of some of those holiday events to prove it!

They are planning a trip to Chicago in April, and had mentioned previously that they would like to contact their friends, the Knorrs from years ago.

Dear Judy and Family,

We are sorry we could not personally be there to celebrate John's life, but our thoughts and prayers are with you. How sweet to know of that dear place, so far beyond our time and place. It is even beyond the moon and sun. HEAVEN - God's home, a room for everyone. Where you feel no hunger, pain, sorrows, or strife thru timeless tomorrows. John was welcomed home by loved ones gone before, who were waiting at the open door. What a dear place.

May Our Lord's peace and blessings be with you and your family.
