Sharon…..I was so sorry to read about John in this mornings paper…I will always remember him as a quiet guy with a nice kind smile on his face..
Its sounds like he went through alot before he died so I am sure when he was greeted “up above” they gave him a nice big lounge chair and said ” Rest now you deserve it!!”
Take care
