Sharon and family, You have my heartfelt sympathies on the passing of John. I can remember when John and his family first moved to Mt. Forest and he sat behind me in grade 4, Mrs. Ernst's class. From then on, I will always remember a smile on his face, a mischievous grin. He was a hard worker, showing it by getting the farm he always wanted. These past few years we only met when he came to the store to buy you birthday flowers, Sharon. We then got caught up on his newest bike, how hard he was working and then the battle to get better. So sorry to hear he couldn't stay ahead of it but know he would have tried hard. So glad for memories.
