Dear aunt Irene, Patty, Johnny and Anna.
I am so sorry for the pain you are now going thru., but I hope that there's a little comfort in knowing that uncle John made it to Glory, and is now with loved ones who went before him worshipping our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Aunt Irene I am so glad for the time that you and uncle John came to visit my Stephen and me, for a week, we had such a wonderful time, we laughed alot, prayed lots, and ate, ate and ate. I am so grateful to God for uncle John's input in Steve's life and think that they are now together in Glory, blesses me, knowing that they made it and are now waiting for us to make it. I am also very grateful that God brought you both into my life, and that I had the honor of knowing uncle John here on earth for a short but a blessed time.
I pray for God's strength, courage, and peace of mind for times to come to you all.
I love you all.

During the course of a lifetime, we all meet a few exceptional people. People that stand out above all others, in every way, shape and form.
My Uncle John was such a person. He was strong, honest, kind, and loyal. He was truly man of integrity and a great leader of men.
I have many wonderful memories of him and will cherish them forever.
I want to thank my Aunt Irene
for being his sole mate and the love of his life for 55 years. She was truly the greatest asset of his life.
I'll miss you Uncle John

Dear Aunt Irene, Patty & John~
It was so great being together with you during the Thanksgiving holiday. Just to think that we spent wonderful time with Uncle John just days before his passing. We will treasure those times. You know that John Firestone is with his Lord, in the great cloud of witnesses, cheering us on... We're praying for you, Irene. Thank the Lord that Patty and Johnny are helping you with things. Our prayers are always with you.

I was very sorry to learn of John's death. I had known John for several years and had great respect for him. His service to the community as a Recreation Center Board member and his work with the West Valley Symphony was very much appreciated. He will be missed.
