    So many happy memories of John. He always brought so much fun and joy to all the family reunions and was looking forward to going this year. John always put Helen first and always looked out for her. It was always "John and Helen", never one without the other. I know John is with Jesus and I pray Helen will be comforted by her faith. I will miss his cheery outlook on life and all his jokes. May God's grace be with all the family at this difficult time.
