Hi Mona and family.. Sad the way we have to keep in touch. Was sorry to hear of John's passing. Wish we could have seen more of you two in the past several years. Bob enjoyed the time he used to spend with John, having a cold beer in the afternoon. I enjoyed our walks around the park in the early mornings. Many good memories, that is all any of us have in the end, we are happy for them. Hope you are well and keeping your spirits up. We are praying especially for you. Jeanette
