I am deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend and neighbor John Meseth. “Jack” and Thea are truly wonderful people who always opened their door to me and the other neighborhood kids who would stop by in search of a cold drink or more often just to talk. Whatever the reason for our visit, we were always greeted with warmth, kindness and love. Thank you for those cherished memories of the happier times we shared...God speed
