| My regrets and sympathy to the family and friends of Spc Toby R. Olsen. Words are pale in the face of such an event. Please be it enough to know that Toby's service to our nation in this time of peril will not be forgotten by all who understand the ultimate goal of our enemies. I regret that I find myself too far removed from the land of my ancestors to be present to show my appreciation and honor to Toby; but please know that every time I look upon the face of one of my children or grandchildren I will think of your soldier and all the military people who are their guardians. I pray to The God of Our Fathers to Abide with all who now suffer under the heavy burden of sorrow, that he will bring peace and consolation through all the days to come. |

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Spc. Toby R. Olsen. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. Know your son was and is a Hero to us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always. He will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Toby.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through. |
