John and Lee Anne have meant so much to me this past year. Love, friendship, and kindness have been their staples since I first met them years ago. 2010 for me has been a somewhat trying year for me and I always looked forward to spending time with them whether it was dinner / movie nights or just conversation and work. I could always count on them to ask the questions that mattered whether I wanted them to or not (although I usually did).
Through knowing them, I know what to look for in meaningful, lasting relationships.
John. Lee Anne. I love you both. I know through Jesus you will succeed and exceed in everything.
-Matthew Black
