Dear Irene and family:
My thoughts and prayers are with each of you at this most difficult time. May God wrap His loving arms around you and give you peace in the hard times ahead. I could not help but have a smile remembering John back during times when John and Irene would drive the young people to Summer camp in the beautiful mountains of NC. The Alliance Church's youth group back in the 50's shared so many wonderful times with two beautiful people that cared about each of us. Your dedication to our Lord made a difference in the lives of many young people that were lacking in a strong home foundation. Irene, you and John were a gift from God.
With much love,
Barbara Kyte

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr Casteen. I know what a good man he was. I can see his sweet smile. I remember what a help he was to my mother-in law after the passing of her husband,Leroy. I believe his details of their work at the shipyard was instrumental in her asbestos claim being successful. I pray God bless your family and wrap His loving arms around you. Sheila Kyte
