Dear Elaine and family,
So sorry for you loss. I remember John, you and the kids every time I pass your old house. I also remember you as being my very first “job” as babysitting the kids every week. I guess that was my very first daycare job as after getting married and having my own 4 children, I ran my own daycare business for 38 years and I would tell every one that I got my start in high school taking care of the Reilly’s children. They were good kids and you and John were so nice to me. Thanks for the training. Prayers to all of you. ~Donna
Mike and Chris Sorry to hear about your loss John and
