It is with our sincerest and deepest condolences that we collectively write this memoir in regards to the sudden shocking loss of our friend John who passed far too young. This has been no doubt a shock which has invoked a sadness in which words cannot adequately describe.
John was a wonderful person who I myself, Matthew Malone, have known for nearly the entirety of my life from a very young age via my mother; Mary Giraldi, (who has expressed her condolences below) who was without question John’s best friend as he in turn would refer to her as equally the same.
In addition, my fiancé Stephanie, would also like to express her condolences. Aside from meeting John only once whereby she described him as being very sweet and jovial with a sense of humor who shared great conversation with the likes of history and other impressive insight with, she is also greatly saddened to hear of the loss as well, citing he was far too young. Stephanie further states she felt as though she knew John much more through the vicarious means in regards through that of Mary having constantly spoken of him as they were extremely close and often spent much time together. Stephanie would also like to express her deepest condolences to John’s family members he is survived by as we all do so.
As often in these cases, words generally cannot adequately express the depth of the loss and sorrow fully felt and rather we are left in a state of shock and hurt. In this case spoken and shared on behalf of ourselves here. However one thing is certain and that is that John will be greatly missed and surely never forgotten!
Thank you for all of the great memories which will be long lived. You will be missed dearly.
Although a photo of Matthew and Stephanie along with John does not exist, we shared this very photo while on this trip to the Grand Canyon a few years back whereby Mary and John were together while we kept in touch having shared and shown photos of our trip along the way.
Goodbye John!
Sincerely,
Matthew Malone, fiancé Stephanie, and along with further mention of our mother and John’s best friend; Mary M. Giraldi.
