I have spoken with the case manager from the Dept. of Army. He has
informed me that there will be no services in Florida. Webster, FL was
home of record only for Spc. Gilmore.
Spc. Gilmore's wife lives in the Fort Hood, Texas area and any services
will be conducted in Texas.

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