I send my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Sgt. 1st Class Edward C. Kramer. May the Lord comfort you in the difficult days ahead.
Godspeed Edward.....Godspeed.....
Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on….
Cherished memories never fade
Because one loved is gone.
Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart….
For as long as there is memory,
They live on in our hearts.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of SFC Edward C. Kramer. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. Know
your loved one was and is a Hero to us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with

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

Thank You to a true hero who answered the call to duty, performing the selfless act of giving of oneself to serve their country. Thank You for your service.
