My condolences to you Mary Lou and your family. Will always remember our B&B stay with you and John and the lovely visit we had around the table.
I remember the kindness John Sr showed to me as a college student . His daughter, Joan, and I became best of friends in nursing school. When we would visit the home, John and Marilou, showed special kindness to me. Grateful for Johns long life and that he is now in the presence of his Lord and Savior, Jesus. My condolences for his dear wife, children and grandchildren.
I send my sincere condolences during this time of sorrow. The Bible promises that your loved one will live again on a beautiful paradise earth when death will be no more. (John 5:28, 29; Revelation 21:4)
Sincere sympathy to Mary Lou and familt on the passing of John
