My sympathy to you Colleen. I remember when you and John would come to Kay's house for a visit, she loved having you and John over. John was always so nice to me and as little girl I just adored him. Remember all the times Kay would take you and Morris up to edinburg,,it was lots of years ago. I just saw John's obituary and I had to send you my sympathy. God Bless, Colleen. Linda (Hoverson)
