Dearest Barbara: I can't believe its been a year since we lost John. Barb, you continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. May the grace, mercy and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ continue to comfort you in your grieving. I pray happy memories will soon out number your sadness. Blessings and Love to you, Lana. p.s. I have not called or written you because my cell phone crashed with your telephone numbers and address. AND, I misplaced all my paperwork from when I was calling for the MHS'62 Chicago Connection Group. Please feel free to call me anytime @ 630-772-3562. Perhaps you might enjoy getting together for lunch/dinner sometime? I would be happy to drive out to Morris and meet you. xoxoxo

John, you will really be missed! Thank you for taking such great care of my second family for all these years! I will be watching over them for you!! Barb was saying tonight how great you treated her. So good to hear! Your family should be proud you made and enriched so many lives after difficult situations. You are a terrific man and will be missed! If everyone had half as good of a heart as you...we would be in a better place! Hope you're catching some big fish! Xoxo

To say I miss you John is an understatement. You were my friend and a part of my family. I enjoyed your presence, your humor, your energy, and your caring.

Barb my heart is heavy for your loss. I was so sad to hear of johns passing. prayanhichildren
