Our Condolenses!
We regret we are unable to visit or make the funeral. I remember Uncle John when I was a young person and enjoyed the time spent with he and Aunt Mac. Living away from the area I missed the opportunity to get to know Uncle John. It seems he had a happy long life. He is now resting peacefully with the Lord.
