Martha may your family remember the good times and reflecting on them will keep Jon in your heart. Jon was a good man and never had a bad word to say about anyone. He will be looking down on you as you travel through these difficult times. May God bless you.
To April, Jake and family. Only met your dad a couple of times but thought alot of him after being at April's wedding to Jay. I stood behind the two of you to "fluff" her dress as she started down the isle. When her daddy's surprise of the song "Butterfly Kisses" started and the beautiful words that he wispered to her I couldn't think anything but that if him.

I remember how delightful it was that you worked with Terry while Jon worked with our kids at Arlington. Sam, especially, felt a strong kinship with Jon and sought him out when he went back to visit Karen Bradbury - he was in her first class. Jon always congratulated him on his military service and looked forward to his visits when Sam was in uniform.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. Keep your memories strong and know our prayers are with you.

I will be praying for you and your family. May God ease your pain, and give you joy in the future. Annie Irwin teller at Phelps Dodge CU
