Dear family and friends of John,
We extend our deepest sympathy to everyone. John was an inspiration to all. His kindness and his witness to holiness was so appreciated. We were not able to be at his funeral mass today. However, we continue to keep John in our prayers. May you rest in peace in knowing that he was one of God's favorite sons! We were blessed to know John.
