TO THE FAMILY OF JOHN FIRECROW, THE NORTHERN CHEYENNE CHIEF COUNCIL EXTEND THEIR MOST SINCERE CONDOLENCES AND PRAYERS FOR STRENGTH DURING THIS MOST SAD, SORROWFUL AND MOURNFUL TIME FOR THE LOST OF A BELOVED LOVE ONE.
Patricia Hubbard says
Dear family of John Firecrow, I am sorry to have read of your loss; please accept my sincere condolences. Something that I have personally found to be of great comfort are the thoughts expressed at John 5:28&29. In these verses, we find a wonderful hope for the future of being reunited with our loved ones upon the earth as it was originally intended to be (Gen 1:28, Psalms 37:11,29) with freedom from pain, suffering and death! (Rev 21:4) It is my sincere hope that during this difficult time and in the days ahead, these scriptures will bring your family comfort and peace. God cannot lie. (Titus 1:2) My deepest sympathies!

Prayers to the family for their loss
James D. Jr. & Ann King & family says
Deepest condolences to the family…. We remember Jon when our son, Jeff, spent so much time with his good friend, Omero. We heard so many stories of their great times together along with Jon at Josephine’s. Jon always struck me as such an intelligent and respectful young man. We are deeply sorry for your loss. May the Lord give you comfort….
