Dear Maureen and family,
I am deeply saddened by the loss of your beloved husband and dad. John was always so very kind to me as a kid growing up and also as an adult, coming back to visit so many, many years later. I feel blessed to have had that visit with you all. You are all in my heart and in my prayers.
God be with you all,
Peggie Felici-Gessner
