    Lucy–

    I am SO SO sorry. We lost a family member when she was 29 and I know how much that hurts. With all the losses you’ve had, I cannot even begin to comprehend how you are dealing with this. I wish I could be there to hug you, but I am there in spirit. You will continue to remain in my thoughts and prayers.

    My cell phone broke and I lost all my contact numbers so was not able to call this morning when I heard. Jim saw it and told me. I have been searching all day for a way to try to reach you and then thought of this.

    God go with you dear Friend.

    Love,
    Dianne

    I just got word of John’s passing by a late Christmas card from his brother Dan. I am very shocked and sorry to hear about his sudden and unexpected death. As one of his cousins, many of my best childhood memories is of seeing and playing with John, Dan, Lucy, Martha and Dorothy every year at the Kirby, Ohio Festival back in the 1960’s when we were all just kids. We always had a lot of fun and great adventures whenever we got together (there or anywhere else). Later of course, we all grew up and started all going our own ways with school, jobs, spouses, kids, etc., which I guess is just the nature of life. But even more then 40 years later, when I think of “Little” John and think about the fun we had at Uncle Franks house in Kirby every year I always get a goofy smile thinking about the fun we had playing in Uncle Franks yard with our silly little toy parachute guys and balsa wood gliders and such that we got at the Festival fishpond. Really Great Memories! My Deepest Condolences to all his family and friends.

    Pattee and family: Sorry for the untimely passing of John. I am so privileged to have met him before he made his final, miraculous journey “home”. May God’s PEACE sustain you. You know where I am if you need a hug!
