Hey mom, it’s your son John. I just want you to know that both Leigh and myself are doing well. We love you and miss you very much. We’re happy knowing that you have been reunited with dad, never to be apart from him again. Pain and suffering are a thing of the past. I’ll keep you on my mind for the rest of my life, and God willing hopefully I’ll be reunited with dad and yourself when it’s my time as well. Love you dearly.
