Elizabeth, So sorry to hear of John's passing. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I am John's cousin, Kristine. We really connected when I was 17. He was 27. He was very kind to his young cousin. I met you when you were pregnant with your youngest while visiting Gramee Lydia's. Such a coincidence, my bother, John Bolz and I were talking last weekend and John was on our minds. John decided to look for him and found the obituary. I will be in touch at a later date. We live in Oklahoma. Blessings to you and yours, Kristine Bolz Sisk
