[Vision2020] St. John Wenders

[Matt Decker]

Saundra,

I too feel for Sue, along with the family of John. If Mr. Wenders said those 
things to me, I too would have a negative opinion about him. I however, 
doubt I would say that I am glad he is dead(paraphasing here). Sue could be 
the bigger person and say something like, the man said some terrible things 
to myself and family, however I feel for his friends and family,wishing them 
the best of luck.

Anyways I feel that positive is always better then the negative, and can 
only hope that Sue could forgive the late Mr. Wenders for his hurtfull 
words.

Matt
