Sheryi Mazankowski lit a candle

“It is with deepest sympathy that I express my heartfelt condolences to the entire family (Darla, Shelley (Tim), & the grandchildren). It is difficult to find words to express how much the loss of John will be felt by everyone whose life he touched. John was a great communicator, peace maker, and truly a gentle soul. I loved and adored both John and Georgina. Knowing them enriched my life more than I can say. May John rest in peace, with the love of his life in heaven. Hugs, Sheryi Mazankowski”
