The first responder community is very close, and it always pains me when we lose one of our own. I am very sorry for your loss. It can be hard to find the right words to say at a time like this, but being a man of faith, John would probably appreciate the comforting words found in the Bible. At Revelation 21:4 it tells us that God will soon do away with all suffering, sickness, tears, and death. Along with what we read in John chapter 5, we all have something to look forward to in the future. Until then, may your loving memories or John bring you comfort during this difficult time. Your family has my sincerest condolences.
John, Stephanie and Regina,
You are in our thoughts and prayers and we want to extend our deepest condolences to you all. We had not seen Jacob much as a young adult but will always have memories of him and Stephanie when mom babysat for them. It feels like only yesterday. Our prayers go out to all of you and to his wife and children.
