I did not have the privilege of knowing Lt.Col. MacGill, but from the brief description I read, I can see he had a very distinguished military career. How proud the family must be. Though experiencing grief, may you take comfort in knowing he no longer suffers and there is an assured hope of seeing him again. Our Lord, Jesus Christ, promised: “the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth” (John 5:28, 29). May memories of happy times spent with your loved one help ease the pain until you are blessed with seeing him again.
