Not sure what to say?

Never forgotten ❤

Duane, As we you were laid to rest today, I couldn't help but think of how proud your son Kenny was of you. You were and are his hero still. Rest in peace with your two sweet angels. Kenny will be well cared for and will reunite with you again one day. God bless Louise, your Parents and your Son Kenny, and all who loved you as we all try to come to terms with this tragic loss.

Dear Mrs Louis Cantrell, I know your heart has been broken into a billion pieces and nothing I say will help much but please know this...that there are so many people, many of whom you do not know personally, that are here for you in thoughts and prayers. When you miss your little Angels Natalia and Isabella, and your loving brave husband CWO3 Cantrell, you can look up at the sky at night for you will see 3 of the most beautiful stars ever to shine in the sky. That will be the three of them...

There was only one Edward, and he will never be forgotten for his service to our Country, his dedication to the Special Forces, his love for his family and the ultimate sacrifice he made for his daughters. God bless you Mrs. Cantrell.

Your husband's sacrifice was in certain keeping with what he was: a Dad who loved his daughters enough to automatically sacrifice himself for them. As a squadron commander in the Civil Air Patrol I intend to mention your husband's heroic deed from time to time to my cadets. As a teacher I intend to tell my students about this man I never knew but know very well through this incredibly unselfish act. My kids need heroes to look up to and to consider their deeds and actions. Your husband saw in...

My heart goes out to Mrs. Cantrell. Keep strong in your faith and lean on the Lord. Your husband and babies are sitting on the right hand of God. Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God.

As a wife of a special Forces Soldier,I can tell you that We are so proud of your husband.Just the fact that he was a Green Beret made him special.And he is still taking care of your babies.I cannot imagine what you are going through Just know that you are in our prayers.God is with you.our very deepest sympathy.CSM&Mrs Dewey C. Simpson

Even though you're grieving, you must be proud of your husband. He made the ultimate sacrifice, just like a Daddy should. You're in my prayers.

We salute your Soldier. Our condolences for your loss and gratitude for your loved one's service to our country.
