"Please do accept my sincere condolences for the lost of your love one. I too am a fellow veteran who served in the Navy and know the sacrifices he made for his country. Death is definitely our enemy. The Bible promises that one day death will be no more, and this last enemy known as death will be brought to nothing. Rev: 21:3-5. and 1 Corinthians 15:26 please do read these Scriptures in your own Bible. May the God of all Comfort and Peace be with you. "
In loving memory of
