Gail,
My prayer is that God will wrap you and "ALL" of the Commander's family in His loving arms. May you feel God's love and comfort at this time. I would send a prayer for Bob but he doesn't need my prayers. He's home and he's safe now. Along with these prayers, I send love and many, many hugs. Keep in mind that this is one of those times when you will see....and it's okay to see.....only ONE set of footprints in the sand!
