Alexis and Family,
The loss of somebody like a Grandfather who is the backbone of the family is very painful. I lost my Grandfather when I was about 4 years old, so I don’t have many memories of him. But what I do remember is that when he died, the family came together. Cousins, Uncles, Aunts, Family members that I had never seen before came together. Even family feuds stopped (Temporally). All in honor of him.
I wish you and your family the same during this difficult time.

I am very sorry for your loss. My prayers are that the Lord will ease your pain as you remember John and give thanks for his life.
Dear Alexis and family,
I am so sorry for this sad loss and I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that in time, your cherished memories will bring comfort and peace to you.
Kind regards,
Valerie
Please accept our sincerest condolences.
I had the great pleasure of working with John at the Lynn Post Office. John and I would meet often for lunch. He was always was up-beat and would have everyone in the office in a great mood. I will miss John’s laughter and great singing.
My deepest condolences to his family.
