M.J. Girlinghouse and family-- I was so sorry to hear of John's passing. I have such fond memories of growing up around the fire station and playing with all the firefighters children. I remember Lynn, Robert, and John. We always had a good time, especially at the times when there were hurricanes headed to Orange and we would all hang out at Central Fire Station. My daddy always thought so much of you and your family and I did as well. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family in the coming days and weeks ahead. Put your trust in the Lord and he will see you through. Much love, Mary Adele (Horn) Hall
