    Feeling your loss. I am priviledged to have known him since I was about 9 years old. (Thanks to the times I spent with Janna growing up as friends. ) I know he came from a very loving and God centered family. He was always kind and sweet with a twinkle in his eyes. He always made me feel like part of the family even years later when I’d see him and his family. I know this is a huge loss for ALL of your family! Praying for comfort for you all. Our loss is Heaven’s gain.
