Hi Anne they were my life, three special ladies.

John so tender and heartfelt my friend. I can say John that by your tender words I know you were a wonderful loving husband to your wife, caring and loving son to your mom, and a grandson that made your grandma proud. Their memories will occupy a special place in your heart and mind until that day when you all will meet again and continue in Heaven above. God bless you my friend and know their memories will never be forgotten but be with you as if they were there...
