I am so sorry for your loss. During this sad time, please take comfort in knowing that our Heavenly Father has promised a future we have not known by means of the sacrifice of his son, Jesus Christ -John 3:16. The Bible describes the time when we will be reunited with our dear loved ones and friends at. -Isaiah 65:20-25 and John 5:28,29). In the days ahead, may your beautiful memories and these divine promises help to sustain your family and the God of comfort will be with you.

Cindy, I know the devotion you demonstrated to your father. I recollect warm conversations about growing up in Boston, his hard work, and fatherly influence. Your girls have lost a family soldier and I know Chris respected him. You and they are a great legacy. Wishing you every comfort – and the joy of good memories.
