Memorials and Ceremonies: Naples and Fort Stewart

3/19/08 Arlington South - Naples, FL

Thank you Robert and Billy for helping with the set up of the crosses. We love you both. We wish we could have been there with you.

3/20/08 Warrior's Walk Fort Stewart, Georgia

Seven soldiers from Fort Stewart were honored in this tree planting ceremony. Tony and I were very touched by the many condolences. We got to spend some precious time with Rich, Anita, Taylor, Raymond, Tabitha, and Alyssa. We also got to meet Timothy who was the driver of the MRAP and was injured during the IED explosion.

I have provided links to both of these events in "News Video Clips".

THANK YOU!

Thank you for your support and prayers, without them we would have had a much more difficult time enduring our loss.

Richard was well loved by his family and friends and we will miss him very much! He would not want us to grieve deeply - just enough to cleanse our hearts and give us peace. We lift up in prayer the families of those soldiers who have gone before Richard and those who will continue to give their ultimate sacrifice. May their loved ones who have gone before them embrace them with love and everlasting peace.

Jesus says, “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way to the place where I am going.” Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:1-16)
