Oh Kay, I’m so sorry to hear of John’s homecoming. I didn’t know about his military service. My sister’s husband was born October 9, 1948, served two & a half tours in Vietnam & operated heavy equipment. I can’t help but wondering if they knew each other.

John had the biggest smile . Even going through so much physical pain he just kept going with a smile on his face and Kay being by his side praying and taking care of him. John is now in Heaven, no more pain or suffering. We will miss him very much.
