Dear family of Barbara,
I was so sorry to hear of her passing. Pat and I were friends with John and Barb for the many years we lived in Hambden Township (our children attended school with their children). We had lots of wonderful memories together. Rest in peace with John and all your loved ones.
Evans family
We would like to extend our condolences to the family. In times of distress we need comfort that soothes our hearts. May the peace of God guard your hearts. With caring thoughts.
