To Linda DeLeon and family: My son, Lowell, and I were deeply saddened to hear
of John's passing. What a wonderful and kind person John was, and he brought so
much joy and love to those around him. He was a shining light that will be missed by many. We pray that God will grant you the peace and comfort that only He can give and
which all of you so justly deserve during this very difficult time.
It was evident that you and John shared a strong marriage and were very "family
oriented." We know it will be hard on you and your family, but you have to remember
the good times and the memories which are now safely stored in your hearts. We
cannot begin to understand what you must be going through, but we send our
love and our promise to pray for you and your entire family. Try to look for something
positive in every day even if some days you have to look a little harder. Just take
a deep breath, and remember, "It's just a bad day, not a bad life."
Those we love never go away--they walk beside us every day. We pray that you
and your family find the courage and strength to bear this irreparable loss.
Blessings,
Meta & Lowell Kirby
