Joanne, Linda, Tommy and family....I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Johnny passing.
I have such fond memories of him. I loved his sense of humor and his "quiet ways ". I know if David were here, he would be equally as sad right now. I think of all of you often and understand the pain you're going through right now. I just know he lives within all of you and you will keep his spirit alive. I'm sorry I can't be at the Services but please know my thoughts and prayers are with you.
