Not sure what to say?

Rest Phil, until you hear at dawn,
the low, clear reveille of God.

Thank you for your service to this nation.

So sorry for the families loss. When we face the loss of our dear love one it truly becomes a trial. It's a time when our Creator steps in and assist us in the grieving process. 1 Thessalonians 3: 4
