My First Christmas in Heaven
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
?With tiny lights like Heaven's stars reflecting the snow.
?The sight is so spectacular-please wipe away the tear
?For I'm spending Christmas with Jesus this year.

?I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear?
But the sound of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here?
I have no words to tell you the joys their voices bring
?For it's beyond description to hear the angels sing?

?I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart?
But, I am not so far away, we really aren't apart.
So be happy for me dear ones you know I hold you dear?
And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

??I sent you each a special gift for my heavenly home above,
?I sent you each a memory of my undying love.
?After all love is a gift more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.

??Please love and keep each other as my Father said to do.
?For I can't count the blessing of love he has for each of you.
?So have a merry Christmas and wipe away that tear.
?Remember I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

May God bless you, Sgt. Guillory, and bless your family richly for your selflessness and service in protecting our country and innocent people around the world. My heart is full of gratitude, more than I can possibly express; however, I'm sure it doesn't come close to the sadness and grief your family is feeling right now. To Sgt. Guillory's family, thank you for raising such a wonderful man, and I pray God covers you with an abundance of comfort and peace in the coming days, months and years.

I know there are no words to say at this time, except how sorry that I am. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Michael will never be forgotten.

For you every single soldier
Those who served so honorable
Your life was forever altered
While I'm home safe and free
I stand with grateful admiration
I stand respectful and so proud
I know I'm only a civilian
And I don't even know if it's allowed

But I salute you; allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
Even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
My humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.
I salute you.

For those missing in action;
for those who didn't make it home.
I know you're in God's presence you are not alone.
For every neatly folded flag;
for every shattered family
I will do the only thing I know to dignify your memory.

I salute you, allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
my humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.

I salute you .

I Salute You.

Gina, Tiffany, and Jessica--I really have missed having a Guillory in band and chorus. Your family added to much to the musicianship in those days. I was so very sorry to hear about Michael.
