Sir, I rejoice in the fact that your son-in -law is with our Lord. I also would like to share your sorrow of not being able to see a beloved one for a while. But may the Lord be lifted up in all things...

Our prayers are with you, Wild Bill, and your family (especially your daughter)as you deal with your loss, and I look forward to the day we all get to meet your son-in-law, David, when we're with the King.
Sergeant to new replacements on the line: I may not have time to tell you to duck, but if you see me dive for the ground you might want to think about why I'm doing it.

We returned yesterday from Gate City Va, where David's remains were put to rest.

Now the ordeal for my lovely daughter begin in earnest.

I want to say that the memorial service was one of the most moving I have ever attended.

I had the honor of delivering the message from Luke 15. This was at David's request before his passing.

My oldest Son delivered the eulogy and then quoted a favorite poem of David's and Barbara's to Barbara..."My Love is like a red, red Rose."

Then two of their favorite songs and it was done.

Thanks to all of you for remembering.

Wild Bill

Bill,

Sounds like it was a beautiful service. Hold on to those scriptural truths and the God behind them as the mourning lessens.

My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
