Please know that I am keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I didn't know John but I went to school with Ike and it totally saddens me to see a classmate go through such loss. May the angels wings wrap around you and yours and help you though this sadness. With love and sympathy - Lisa (Creel) Tavary
