Virginia,
I'm sorry to hear about John. Kathy Espinoza wrote such a nice note above. I don't think I could put it better. I will be thinking of you and praying for you during this time.

Virginia,

In times like this there is nothing more comforting than Psalm 23. May you and the family be comforted in your time of loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Virgina I'm so sorry for your loss.
I'd like to say this for John

God saw him getting tired,
And a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around him,
And wispered "Come to Me"
With tearful eyes you watched him,
and saw him passaway.
Although you loved him dearly,
You could not make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our harts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.

My heart goes out to the family of John. John and Virginia were my landlords for a couple of years in Bloomington, and I must say they were the kindest people I've ever met. Whenever John came by to fix things we had a few laughs. I always told him how much he reminded me of my father who I had recently lost and it was such a pleasure to see him.

Virginia, I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how close your family is, and it will be hard for some time, just remember the great times and how great John was. He was loved by many and will be a huge loss to all. Please take care of yourself.
