George I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. As I watch so many of my friends and classmates from JFK lose their parents I cherish every
day that I still have my parents all the more. I pray that you will get through this difficult time knowing God’s love for you and your family.
Peggy Class of 72 JFK
To one of my classmates – many fond memories. God’s blessings to all the family.
