    Liz,Molly, Chelsea, & all of the Dr. Ken Halgrimson family–
    I was saddened to hear of John’s passing. I worked with John’s father–Dr. Ken–for over 40 years and he talked with great love & pride about his family. I read that when you lose someone you love you gain an angel you know. May family and friends comfort all of you and loving memories heal your hearts. Love, JoJo
