We miss you, Mr. John. We will miss your jokes, funny stories, playing games, playing cards, baking cookies, and making gingerbread houses with the kids at Thanksgiving. But mostly we will miss YOU being with us. You were always happy to just be with the family. When we were together, the house was always filled with loud voices, lots of laughter, and having fun no matter what we were doing. Please know that your memories will be a part of our family forever. We will always be thinking of you. We miss you! Please give my Dad a big hug from us! Ox Ox
