So very sorry to hear of John's passing. John worked with us at the VA Hospital and was an ambitious and faithful employee. He often spoke to us about his wife who he expressed sincere devotion and love. May he rest in peace and may you, his family, be comforted in knowing what a good and kind man he was! Prayers of peace and comfort are extended. So happy to read that he witnessed the EAGLES championship....how very nice!
