So sorry for the loss of a wonderful soul. I met John and Nikki at Hope Lodge. Wonderful people and reached out during their own bump in the road to talk to me. My mom was in the hospital and I was at the Lodge by myself. Kind wonderful man. Nikki I am carrying you in my thoughts.
Deepest sympathies. Our husbands were warriors. All of us at the Hope Lodge were family. God bless you.
