Dear Nell & Family,
My Deepest Condolences. I can still see you and John as newlyweds when you were my Catachism teacher at St. Dominic's and then we went on to be together as BUSD employees.....The years seem to pass way to quickly. He was a devoted father, husband & grandpa. I will always remember that ever pleasant kind man with the soft spoken manner and ever present smile. May wonderful memories of John help you through the difficult days ahead. Be strong Nell. I know Sharon and the boys and grandkids will there for you. God's Blessing to you all.....
