John Quast

John,

Today would've been our 30th wedding anniversary and couldn't help thinking to myself how much I miss you! Noticing all the guys purchasing flowers, candy, etc for their wife or girlfriend after work made me think how lucky the girl is. It was very hard to continue with my errands so I came home & sat in the dark wishing we were out celebrating our anniversary & Valentine's Day! God, how I miss you!

All my love,
Cindy

P.S. I had meant to wish...

John,

30 years ago today we met and also had our first date. I was very surprised that you still wanted to go out on the date after I had come home and was telling my friend/roommate (Cindy) about how the shop blew up my battery and I was very angry about it. (That was the first time I had ever shown anyone outside of my family and circle of friends how angry I could get.)

I kept thinking during our date that this guy was allowing me to be me. I couldn't believe that...

John,

This past Sunday was the first of many that our family won't be able to celebrate along with other families the day that honors fathers. As far as fathers go you were one of the few that should've had a special day onto yourself as you knew the true meaning of what a father was/is. Your children always came first.

I spent Father's Day going to church and then later Jayson and I went out to the cemetary to place a few items at our headstone...a plant stand, a few...

John,

The day of our wedding anniversary, which was also Valentine's Day I went out to the cemetary to place flowers on your grave. It's hard to believe that it would've been 28 years that we would've been together. The time we had together went by so fast it seemed like a flash.

I remember our wedding day like it was yesterday. The day couldn't have been any nicer. The sky was very blue and the temperature was very warm...the high for the day was 62 degrees. I got a phone...

John:

There isn't a day that goes by that I haven't thought of you these past six months. As each day goes by I pray that the pain of losing you will lessen...but it hasn't. Everyone keeps telling me that with time the hurt will lighten up. I keep waiting for that time.

The day of your birthday I kept thinking to myself that there wouldn't be any celebrating, not that we did much. (I was going to go to the cemetary to put a wreath on your grave but the weather didn't...

John:

It's hard to believe that it's been four months since you're gone. I miss you so much!

Beth & Jayson have been really great during this time period. We truly have wonderful children!

One of the times that I really feel alone is at night, which was the time we spent talking or just being together.

Other times that it really hits me hard that you're gone is when I see couples together. I think of all the plans we had made while taking walks in the woods of...

Cindy,
I am keeping you in my prayers wishing you and your family the help you need to continue without John. He and his humor will be greatly missed. Kathy

To all things there is a season - John's was way to short for all of us here on earth but God must have needed him and called him home. Love to all of you - I'll keep you in my prayers. Lucy

Cindy, Jayson, Beth & David
"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,
comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word."
2 Thessalonians 2:16-17
I wish you comfort for today and courage to meet the days ahead in confidence.
This world needs more John Quasts.....lots more! He lived Godly love. Many talk about it; John lived it! Thank you, God, for Joh!"
