My wife and I wish to extend our condolences on your loss.
We stand with feet planted firmly on rich soil knowing what freedom is. Because of our veterans, I am free to honor God and country without persecution. Where there is injustice, I am free to fight. Where there is silence, I am free to speak. Where there is hate, I am free to love.
Your love one’s watch is over, may they rest peacefully in the arms of God.
