    Ms. Bernie, Jennifer and family,
    My condolences and sympathy to all. I remember Mr. John with great fondness. Every morning when I brought my babies (now 24 and 25), to Ms. Bernie, John was there to greet and help with starting a new day off on the right foot. He always had a great story and kind words to share. His gentle and light-hearted spirit was reflected in his daughter Jennifer that I had the joy of teaching in fifth grade. I have always remembered the Dowell family with great fondness and am sorry to hear of Mr. John’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May you find comfort in your memories together.
