  7. Tina – I am sorry for your loss. While I didn’t know John personally, I knew him through how happy and loved he made you feel every day. For that I will be eternally grateful to him and will miss him a great deal. He was a very kind soul that loved you more than life and loved his entire family. I know that your heart is broken right now and mine breaks for you. Take comfort in knowing he is at peace and at home with the lord.
