We are SO sorry for your loss. John went out just like he lived...surrounded by family, food and love. His smile was contagious. He was a gentle man, a kind man, a smart man, a loving man, a family man (I could go on and on) and we feel so fortunate to have been allowed to know and spend time with him. He shall be remembered, always. And every time we see a dove, we shall think of him. Hugs, love and prayers being sent your way!
So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
