Dear Kathi, Linda and families, My deepest sympathies to you - you are in my thoughts and prayers. We live so far apart and yet we were always close to your family. My Uncle John was a very special man and his son, your Father took after him. I will never forget Uncle John and Aunt Ada, Uncle Zip and Aunt Flo visiting Iowa and later your parents. I have the deepest respect for your dad and am proud to have him as a cousin. Love Aunt Ruth
