View all 4 ReflectionsIt is an honor to be a friend of your grandson, John. You would be very proud of the man he is as I am honored to have him as a friend. He has been a great support and consoler to myself and my husband since my big brother was murdered in the line of duty, July 7, 2016. Rest In Peace and know you that have a wonderful legacy still here.
