RIP to a lifelong time friend. One of the sweetest neighbors anyone could have! We shared so much! This is not the way I wanted to say goodbye. Hug Les from us! Rest in the Lord’s loving arms.
John and Jeff, and family. I was saddened to hear of your mother’s death. I was amazed to me to hear that Marge was 100 years old. What a gift for you as a family! I wish that I could extend my condolences in person; but, that doesn’t work out. It has been a long time since I have seen you both. I have been thinking of you and your families. God’s peace to you all – Jeff Johnson
