John David was my nephew! His father John was my brother. Even though we hadn’t seen each other or been in contact for some time, I thought of him often! It saddens me that the Lord took him home so soon but, sametimes we just wait too long to “catch up” with someone and then it’s too late! I Be at peace nephew.!
Love, Aunt Jean
