Dear Kay and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your great loss! John was a wonderful man. He sure leaves a great legacy. He loved God, his family, the community and sports! As a young girl I remember watching Sally and John as they participated in the sailboat races at the yacht Club! They competed so hard that their hands were covered with blisters and bruises from the ropes! John sure loved sports! May God comfort you as only He can! I am praying for you and your family as you mourn his passing. I am so thankful that John is with the Lord because of Jesus' sacrifice. This is not good-bye - it is just a "see you later!"

Love,
Jan and Christine (Margaret's daughters)
