"Thank you to my sister and brother-in-law Barbara and Larry Fonder who graciously accepted John into their home in Antigo, WI where he resided for the last year and a half of his life. In generosity of spirit they unselfishly gave of their time and attention without expectation of receiving anything in return. Providing meals, driving him to Dr's appointments and seeing to his general well being to the best of their ability and with the goodness in their hearts. I am very grateful and appreciative to them and I know John was as well. - Laura Hatch"
