My deepest sympathy to Dr. Dunn, Mildred, Greg and Wendy. I am so happy I got to visit with John at Dori’s service. We had some great times as kids! The Dunn boy’s were always so nice to me. I am thinking of John’s entire family, keeping you in my thoughts and prayers at this sad time. Losing a child is not easy. Do we cry for those who die too young, or for those who are left behind. God bless each of you.
