Dear Ooms Family I wish to send you warm thoughts today as you lay your dad to rest. I had some good years with John at the Bibles for Missions and the last 5 years were especially good. He faithfully volunteered every Monday and Friday afternoon and he and Uncle Walter were some of the most dedicated volunteers that I worked with. I will miss his frank discussions and hope that you find comfort that he was a child of God. God Bless you today.
Our sincere condolences!
