Pam, I am very sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I didn't really know your mom and dad but I am sure they were great people and I know you will miss them for the rest of your life and I feel sure they loved you just as much as you loved them. My dad died Dec. 1, 1990, my mom died Feb. 11, 2012 and Charles died Feb. 7, 2014 so I know what you are going through. Just keep faith that you will see them again some day and know that your friends and family will be there for you when you need them and God will always be with you. Take care.

So sorry to hear of John's passing. I have many fond memories of him during his youth in Johnson. Thanks so much for bringing him to Vt. last spring so we could enjoy a wonderful visit. When I talked with him around Oct. he expressed to me his appreciation for the love and care he was receiving from "his girls." God Bless!
