I only met Pat once a few years ago. I thank him for his service to our country. I also would like to thank Guy and Patricia for their role as caregivers over the last several years. Too often our elders are forgotten before they're gone.

I am sorry to hear about your loss. During this time of great sadness, I hope that the family find comfort from James 4:8. It says, "Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you." Along with family and friends, may you'll also look to God for comfort.
