I remember Tom very well. I knew all of you, I saw Karen last Oct. at our Class Reunion Mass. I remember John very well as he was an Usher with my Dad. My Dad w2as Ushering at the 9:45 Mass. He was almost a permenent fixture at that Mass. The only time he wasn't there, was when he was counting money.
Doris, I am sorry to hear about your loss. John was always therewhen he was needed. Also there when you needed Him for repairs. { He had a Plumbing Business if I remember correctly }. Both of my Parents are Deceased. My Dad in 1964, My Mom in 1989. Dad of that dreaded Lung Cancer. Mother that just dreaded Emphsyma. Jack my Older Brother is not keeping in touch. { since 1983 } Tony my Younger Brother Is Married, living in Portland Ore.and has 4 children and 1 from a previous marriage and has made him a Grandfather. I am Married and living in Phoenix, Az. I have 2 Stepchildren, both are Married. My Stepdaughter has made my Wife { Marsha } a Grandmother Twice. So you can see I have been pretty busy. I met my wife out here in Phx. we will be Married 16 yrs. in Oct. I came out here in Nov. of 1990. Met my wife in 1993. Were Married in Oct. of 1995. Once more I am sorry to hear of your Double Loss, I know it is very to think of them not being around. But God is watching You all the Time and John is around to give that needed bit of Encouraement.
