In memory of my cousin John.

I never met John personally, as I joined Grace Lutheran not long before his death but he was always spoken of with kindness and respect. My condolences to his family.
I am so sorry to hear of my cousin John’s passing. He was such a good soul. It is good that i had spoken with John recently several times during the holidays. He was always so inquiring and interested in our side of the family and we enjoyed talking sports. I know he had so many difficulties the past decade but he handled it well. We should take some measure of comfort, believing he is now reunited with his family in heaven.
Godspeed,
Kenneth R. Huebner
