Thank you for your service and for protecting me, my family, and friends. Without your true dedication, our nation would be in a mess. You are one of the many reason we are free! Your family and friends are grieving the loss of your company, but when the fog lifts, they will see you stand proudly guarding Heaven, waiting to help you pass into Heaven. Thank you for giving the ultimate sacrifice. Bless your family and know she is watching over you.

Tracy,
When I heard of your loss, I was truly saddened. I will be praying for the strength to come your way for now and for later down the road for you and the family. It is never easy to lose a love one, but when it happens, that love one becomes a memory and the memory becomes a treasure - but that love one is always your Angel, she just has wings now. She will be forever watching over you.
