So sorry for your loss! I will continue to pray for peace for your family during this hard time.
We are a Coast Guard family.

To the family, friends and CG shipmates of SN Ethan. I am a mom of a Coast Guardsman who served aboard ship out of Kodiak. My heart goes out to Ethan's mom especially during these painful days of grieving. May you be enveloped by the PEACE of our LORD. Take comfort in our Blessed Hope.
You, too, are a part of the Coast Guard family.
(I wonder if you were able to attend Ethan's Boot Camp graduation? I followed it by Live Stream. There are photos from his company's graduation on the U.S.Coast Guard Training Center Cape May (Official) site.)
I am praying for you. Comfort each other. The face of Abba-Father shines upon you and all who were a part of Ethan's life.
