Diana Lento-Riedy says
I’m so sorry for your loss. Every memory I have in high school of coming to your house Karen and seeing your mom and dad so ridiculously happy warms my heart. You were truly blessed to have such a wonderful father and such a loving mother. I’m so sorry for your loss. Love, Diana.
Patty Arnold says
Losing a Dad is so tough that sometimes we wonder how we get through this journey in our life. May your Dad be sitting on your shoulder each and every day reminding you that he’s always there for you, especially when you say, “Dad, how the heck am I suppose to fix this!” Prayers 24/7!
Nancy Gayne says
I am so sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. John was such a great friend who carried a smile wherever he went. He will surely be missed by all of us at Oakhurst United Methodist Church but happy that he and his love, Joan, will be reunited!
Love to all his family!
