Marcia,
I am so very sorry to hear of Johns passing. He indeed was a great man. I was fortunate enough to meet him on two occasions as I assisted him during each of his Ohio bar exams. I know John loved you both as he spoke of you with a gleam in his eye.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Dayna
