The Society sent flowers and will purchase a genealogy book and donate it to the Library in Statesboro, GA in his memory. This is where we hold our annual meetings. The library will place a plate on the inside front cover stating that it was donated in his memory, then will send a thank-you note to the Society. This note will be placed in the Society's scrap book for all to see at our meetings.

We all loved John and his gentle ways. He truly was a wonderful human being and will be missed by all.

NaeSmyth love,

Sue Donahue
