My Deepest Sympathy and Condolences for the Family and Friends....

Rest in Peace

When we have done all the work we were sent to Earth to do, We are allowed to shed our body, which imprisons our soul like a cocoon encloses the future butterfly;
And when the time is right, we can let go of it and we will be free of pain, free of fears and worries, free as a very beautiful butterfly returning home to God.

God Bless

No he won. He is now with St. Peter and my namesake St. Michael.

I lost my mom when she was 48. It was tough, but since I believe in something better afterwords, I think he went somewhere better.

Semper Fi sir and rest well

Orrahh to that! My Aunt passed away from cancer a few years ago so I know how you must feel. But like Mike said. He is in a better place now. Telling bootcamp stories with Dan Daly and Chesty....who could ask for more?
