Eva and family,
I just saw this today. I would have attended the memorial had I known sooner.
John was a great person and I enjoyed working with him at Helena and in Delaware.
John always kept his word.
John was a friend and will be missed.
So sorry, I could not be there with y'all, but my heart was. I loved J.W., he always loved to tease Brenda and I. We thought he was so handsome and sweet. I know you all have so many sweet memories, and they will help so much. Eva, I love you, and wish I lived close to you, so we could be together more. Everyone stay close to each other, and share memories, while making new ones. God Bless, Henry and Billie Sue
