Nancy,
Our family wants you to know we love you. It is so tragic to lose someone so close that you shared many years of your life with. Nancy, grieving can wear you out, especially in the beginning, so please be patient with yourself; it’s OK to feel sad and tired. According to the Bible promises, God looks forward to reuniting us with those we have lost. That is a sure promise since he cannot lie and he is all-loving. See you soon.
Nancy

Nancy, we are so sorry for your loss. John was a special man and I have fond memories of when we were much younger of his infectious laugh. May your family and friends bring you some comfort at this difficult time. Your loving family is so blessed to still have you!
Nancy, I am sorry we never met. I have wonderful pictures of John from when he stood up in my wedding to his cousin Al. We had so many good times in our younger days. He was someone I thought of often even though we were miles apart. My sincere condolences for the loss of a great guy.
