"John, my best friend and soulmate. I will always cherish the memories together. From our first date when you showed me your Bishop Grimes High School ID just to reassure me you were ?a nice Catholic boy!!? We shared countless enjoyable adventures like hiking, biking and skiing, We had heart aches along the way especially the passing of our daughter Kimberly. John was a man of integrity and kindness. I will miss your gentle spirit, John. Rest in peace with Kimberly. Your wife, Karen"
