Deanna Alexander wrote a sympathy message

“I'm so sorry to hear of John's passing and in such a tragic and unexpected way. I recognize the importance of Timberlee and the implication that John probably had an eternal perspective to his worldview, which I hope gives you peace. Losing someone valuable to you never becomes a lighter burden for you, but perhaps with time and God's graces, you will continue to become stronger to bear it. I wish peace and healing to your family. ~Deanna Alexander, a fellow Milwaukee County worker.”
