Dearest Connie and family, my heartfelt condolences to all of you. It's hard to imagine that John, such a great person, a good man, is gone. All my love, Judy Fiore "For what is it to die – but to stand naked in the wind, and melt into the sun? And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from it’s restless tides. That it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered? Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then you shall truly dance…" - Posted by: Judy Fiore (Friend) on: May 05, 2015
