This is truly a tragic story. As many of you know, there are details missing here that might warrant a private discussion. Maybe the Truman Copote in you will bring this out in the future!Deanna Christiansen (Strella)
I can fill you all in on what happened to John. He was a very special person and would not hurt a fly. His parents were very good people but their world revolved around John. He could not have a life of his own. When he graduated college and left McPherson, his parents went with him. When they became ill, he could not go against their wishes and put them in a nursing home. He shot them and then himself. He left a note. It was a horribly sad day.I, Deanna Christiansen Strella, knew him well and he was a kind guy. We graduated from a country grade school (Centerview) together, along with Jacob Goering. Only three in our class.
