Sending thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. So glad dad got to see John when he did.
Fair winds and following seas sailor. “Boatswain… Standby to pipe the side… Shipmate’s going Ashore…” Thank you for your service to this nation.
I remember one summer when John grew a watermelon on both sides of a fence! Cut right through the middle! I really enjoyed the days I was able to share time with your family. Thanks for the memories. Kim
