“To Carol, Johnny and Aunt Joyce,
Sorry to hear about Uncle John's passing. He is fondly remembered. The first thing the came to my mind was Lisa, probably because she talked so much about uncle John. I think she broke all the distant barriers and showed her affection which was recipricated. She talked about Carol like they were sisters. Life is complicated and hard to understand at times. It hepls to focus on the contribution ones life has made. Wish I could be there. Aunt Joyce; I'll always remember the camping trip I had with ye guys, eventhough I got lost and watered your sleeping bag. I've had many laughs thinking about it. I was more bother than good.
Thanks for being family.
Love
Wylie”
“we were very sorry to learn of John's passing. We first met John at Genevieve and David Jones wedding seven years ago. He was a very sweet and pleasant man. Please accept our deepest sympathy.”
“He will be dearly missed. He will fondly be remembered for the boyhood camping trips. Our deepest sympathy to his family.”
“I have many wonderful memories of the great summers I spent with Uncle John & family, and the several exciting camping trips they took me on - staying with Uncle John was always a treat. He leaves me with only good memories as he was always so kind to me.
Sending my Love and Prayers to the family during this very difficult time.
Niece, Susan
