| Our heart felt condolences to the Cotner family and friends in the loss of Christian. Thank you for his service to this great country. Our prayers go out to God for you in this time of loss. Christian 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. Wish I could have shaken his hand and told him thank you myself. God tells us that “Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13) As Christ our Lord laid down His life for us that believe in Him for salvation, so your love one has laid down his life for us for our freedom. This act has made him a Super Hero in my heart and I thank-you deeply for this sacrifice made for our freedoms. I pray that God will now bless your lives and help you see how great a thing this is which your loved one has done. The FALLEN MILITARY MEMBER has shown this country his greatest love for country and friends |

I suppose, in a way, this has become part of my soul. It is a symbol of my life. Whatever I have done that really matters, I've done wearing it. When the time comes, it will be in this that I journey forth. What greater honor could come to an American, and a soldier?

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Christian Cotner, USMC. 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, Christian.
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.

Ive sat here and read every single post. and everyday since his death I have been trying to find the words to say say to express how sorry i am that he is gone and how happy i am to see all of you that leave posts here. Christian was the love of my life and to see that all of you have such kind words to say brings tears to my eyes. There are no words to describe any of this except for the ones i just used. So to everyone who has offered their condolences and prayers and thoughts in this diffuiclut time. thanks you so much. it is truely appricated.
and to Christian. You are one amazing person. A true American hero. You did what you always wanted to do. You were a proud Marine. And you served our country well. Now you are with God. So keep on protecting all of us from up there. You are missed so much. Your family, friends and America is so proud of you. May you rest in eternal peace. I love you always. |
