John Bruce Grunden

Dear Kathy and the Grunden family,

Rex and I send all of our thoughts and prayers to you and your family at this time of sorrow. We were so sad to read of his passing in the ASC newsletter. You and John welcomed us to All Saints and always provided us with support and counsel. I always looked forward to seeing the two of you at choir practice and I just pray that one day I will have as much deep and truly genuine faith, character and love as the two of you have always had and shared with all. With love,

Your family is in our thoughts and prayers during your time of sorrow. Mr. Grunden was a wonderful patient and will be greatly missed.

Kathy and Family,
I worked with John on the G-2 Pentagon contract. He was a caring, fair and resourceful boss. He set the example and will be remembered and missed. Genevieve and I have hospice experience. We know that all the training in the world can not mitigate such a loss. We deeply regret Johns passing and trust that time will heal.

Dear Kathy, Eric and Kevin
We are so sorry for your loss. No one knows better than you and your families what a fine and caring man John was. However, we would also like you to know that so many of us were influenced by him and considered it a privilege to have known him and to have served with him. John will always be remembered as smart, funny, a highly respected military officer, and a man of honor. His personal life and actions were examplars for everyone. May God bless you and your families.

I had the privilege of taking care of LTC Grunden near the end of his struggle against pancreatic cancer. His faith and determination in the face of such adversity were inspiring. I mourn his loss, and I wish we had more effective treatments for this awful disease.

Kathy and Family,
I worked with John both at FT Devens, and then at INSCOM. He was a great guy and will definitely be missed. My sympathy to you and all of your family.

Kathy,

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember the small groups you and John had at your home. May the Lord comfort you in this time of sorrow.

Love, Tamara Frost

Dear Kathy, Eric and Kevin,

Words can't really express how much we loved John and how much we will miss him--what a great man, a great soldier, a great friend. We know he is in a better place and now free from pain, but we still mourn his loss. God bless you all, and we know John is looking down upon you at the side of his Savior.

Love,
Tom and Joan Langenfeld

Kathy,

I will always remember you and Bruce at our last class reunion. I am so glad I was able to spend that time with you and Bruce remembering our high school days at Waite. God be with you.

Kathy, We praise God for putting you and John in our lives and we thank Him for letting us see what love between husband and wife can be. Take comfort in knowing that John left surrounded by your love and that of his family and received the greatest love upon his arrival in Heaven. God Bless you and your family.

Kathy,
The Grunden family are in our prayers. We have lost a wonderful man. May God bless you and your family during this time.

Bless you and your family at such a difficult time. I will always remember John. Rest in peace.

Dear Kathy and family, We have all lost a great friend, a friend whose passing has left a void in our hearts. I count myself fortunate for having known John as he truly touched my life in a most positive way. You are in our prayers and thoughts

Dearest Kathy and family:

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted" Matthew 5:4 John was a wonderful and holy man and it was a blessing to have known him. John was an inspiration to all of us with his strong faith and commitment to God even during this long illness. May God bless you and comfort you during these difficult times. You are in my prayers.
Blessings and love, Patricia

Words cannot adequately express our sympathies. John was a great man and a good friend to us all. We will surely miss him. You're in our hearts and prayers and are always there for you.

Kathy,

God bless you and your family at this very difficult time. Know that others share your loss and have fond memories of John. May knowing he is resting in the arms of God without pain and suffering be a comfort to all of you. Take care of yourself.

With love,

Dear Kathy and family,
Words cannot express how sorry we were to hear of John's passing, he will be greatly missed. We look forward to the day when we can see him again at home in Heaven, where we are certain he will welcome us with the same warm, loving and caring heart that defined John for us. Know that he will always fill a special place in our memories until that day.
Love in Christ, Albert, Bobbie, Jordan, Cody and Chayla Morin
