First met John when I started at Miller Court Senior Apartments. I enjoyed talking with both him and Mable. They were a great couple. I'd see them often walking up-town holding hands, they seem to truly care and love one another. We can all hope that they are together again and watching over the rest of us. Sorry for your loss. God Bless and take care.
