Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of SGT. Robert M. Weinger. 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, Robert.
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.

| I humbly wish to express my regret to the loved ones of U.S. Army Sergeant Robert M. Weinger. All who treasure the security and future of their children, owe an eternal debt of honor and graditude to Robert for all he did on their behalf. We must never forget. It is my prayer to The God of Our Fathers that all who grieve for this young man will be comforted. May they be surrounded by compassion; and strengthened by the support of all good people. May they ever know that there are guardian angels with them as they travel down life's pathway to eternity. |
