Years ago, when all the get together so were out at the Flat Rock, I spent two summers moaning and groaning about the crappy tomatoes you get from the store….and how I wished I could just get a decent tomato for a change. Well the next gathering came around and John calls out my name. When I turned, he tossed me a big red tomato. He told me they never touched the ground because he grew them in cages. I shined it up and took a bite right then. What a difference from the hothouse tomatos I had been consuming. He said he didn’t want to have to hear me complain about it anymore. He brought me tomatoes several more times over the years. Anyway, I thought that was pretty nice of him to do and I never forgot it. My deepest sympathy to his family for their loss, and God rest his soul.
Keeping everyone in my thoughts and prayers! Sorry for your loss!
We wanted to express our sincere and deepest sympathy upon the passing of your Love One John Thinking of you, Silver Oaks Health Campus
