We are so sorry for your loss. No words can ever express the grief you must be feeling. Jamie and Val you spoke so lovingly about Johnny, it is clear how much loved him. Take care and big hugs to you and your family. Love you, Marilyn and Stu.

Our heartfelt sympathy on your loss. We barely knew John, just through a couple of visits to PEI over the years and through many Elayne stories of John and his love for Carole and his family. He was a gem of a man from all reports. Our loss for not knowing him better. We believe John and Carole are reunited....how can we be sad as he’s where he wants to be. Thinking of his family at this difficult time.

Prayers and Hugs, 🙏💓
