I wish to offer my most sincere prayers and extend my deepest sympathies to the family and friends of US Army WWII Veteran and Member of America's "Greatest Generation," Willard E. Toole.  I pray that the Lord Jesus is there with you to hold you and to give you His Peace and Comfort as you lay your loved one to rest.

Our heart-felt condolences to the Toole family and friends in the loss of Willard. Thank you for his service to this great country. Our prayers go out to God for you in this time of loss. Willard served to give us the freedom we now enjoy so much and for that he is one of the GREAT AMERICAN HEROS of the land. God bless your family and friends.

My condolences to the family and friends of USA WWII Veteran Willard E. Toole.
'No Greater Love is this that a man is willing to lay down his life for another.' Only two men were willing to sacrifice their lives for us-Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. Neither of which can ever fully be repaid.

Thank you for your Service and my Freedoms. Your sacrifices will never go unnoticed. I am grateful to live in a country made up of volunteers like you. Your choice to protect our Nation and put your self on the line can never be repaid.

Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Willard.
 
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.


Morning Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.

Another Mother asked President Truman, "Why did my Child have to die in Korea?" Another Mother asked President F.D. Roosevelt,"Why did my Child have to die at Iwo Jima ?" Another Mother asked President W. Wilson, "Why did my Child have to die on the battlefield of France ?" Yet another Mother asked President Lincoln,"Why did my Child have to die at Gettysburg ?" And yet another Mother asked President G.Washington, "Why did my Child have to die near Valley Forge?" Long, long ago a Mother (Mary) asked, "Heavenly Father, why did my Child have to die on a cross outside Jerusalim?" All the answers are so near the same. One died to save our Souls and the others died to protect our Freedoms.

FYI:  I am Willard Toole's grandson.  I have been handling some of the details for Grandma.

The Patriot Guard Riders are welcome inside at the funeral service.

There will be a food spread after the interment ceremony back at the church.  Riders are also welcome there.

Thank you again for all your support.
