| Rest easy now, Nick...you have fought your fight and completed your mission here. I know you are now walking with all our fallen warriors who have gone before you, through the beautiful streets of heaven. You are so truly appreciated, and you will not be forgotten. |

Thank you for your service and sacrifice in defending and protecting our freedoms. As a nation we mourn your loss, and we will remember you always as a true American hero. To the family, I offer my prayers and support. I understand a little of what you are going through-my son, a Marine LCpl, was killed in Iraq. I pray wonderful memories of your dear warrior help eventually to ease the pain you endure today. Your hero will never be forgotten-he leaves a legacy of honor and courage that few will ever achieve. God bless you. Julie Francis, Matt's Mom |

Sgt Hopper, You are our hero! You have stood the test in battle for us. You have now gone to Heaven, where the streets are guarded by the "United States Marines". We PGR members are saddened by our loss of you.
I work with your Aunt Jackie at Dyersburg Intermediate School. Aunt Jackie and I had tears together this morning and a hug for you! Please look after your family as our LORD permits. Our PGR brothers and sisters will ride in your honor!

| I would like convey my deepest condolences to the family and friends of this American hero who stood tall for their homeland. I know this is a very sad time in your lives but remember you knew a hero first hand the rest of us just get to hear about them. Please know that your loved one is now serving in the Army of our Lord and Savior in heaven and the Lord said if I go to prepare a place for you,and if I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and recieve you unto myself that where I am there you may be also. Know that it says in the Bible in 2nd Corinthians 5:8 ,We are confident I say, willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. No one can ever say that your loved one isn't a hero they were willing to serve when so many aren't or feel that they don't want to because of fear, because not just me but a country full of Americans are free because of the sacrifice they made in the name of freedom. May God Bless each and everyone of you |
