Johnny,

You and I had talked about this a couple of weeks ago as my mother also has this terrible disease and she has been in a nursing home for several years. Tell Joan that she and the family are in our prayers.

Joan and Johnny,
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Joan's Mother. No matter how old you are, when you loose a parent you feel like a little child. Joan and Johnny, may God caress you and your family with His love at this time.
