"It is with a heavy heart that I come to you all asking for assistance. The Warfighter community received a message yesterday that could not go unnoticed.
A young spouse of one of our Brothers passed away at the young age of 24. They have transported her back to Maryland for her viewing and funeral. They do not have any close family and there will be little to no emotional support for the Soldier in his darkest hour. I ask that if you are in the Lansdowne Maryland area or know anyone around there please go show your support and be there for our Brother. Her viewing is this Wed 3 to 5, then 7 to 9. with services Thursday morning at Ambrose Funeral Home of Lansdowne. 2719 Hammonds Ferry Rd, Lansdowne Md 21227 I am also asking you all as the Warfighter community to reach out and show the support for this Soldier in his time of need. Please use this thread as the “Guest Book” and leave your comments and tokens of support. Let him know that he is not alone in his time of need."

Sorry about late notice but just now getting some involved.
Hope some of you can make it or can contact Rolling Thunder and Patriot Guard Riders.
Prayers for the family

This is in the Baltimore/Towson area, I think?
Just southeast of Baltimore.
Poor guy. Did anyone make it?
Don’t know if anyone made it. Balto might we well be on the far side of the moon for me. Can’t imagine losing his wife so young.
Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
Que ton Nom soit sanctifié, que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensés.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, mais délivre-nous du mal.
Car c’est à Toi qu’appartiennent le règne, la puissance et la gloire,
pour les siècles des siècles. Amen
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Yes, it aired on the news and showed several hundred military and civilians came forward to create a family for Gabrial and his beloved Tiffany. I will post the link in a comment below.....babydoll1013
If I’m posting this incorrectly, I apologize- it is meant fir all readers/posters to see; the link for the story being covered by the local news channel, several hundreds turned out in Gabrial’s time of loss....

A poem to help in times of suffering-
Memories In The Heart
Memories In The Heart - Unknown
Feel no guilt in laughter, she knows how much you care
Feel no sorrow in a smile that she’s not here to share
You cannot grieve forever, she would not want you to
She’d hope that you can carry on, the way you always do
So talk about the good times and the ways you showed you cared
The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared
Let memories surround you.
A word someone may say
Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day
That brings her back as clearly as though she were still here
And fills you with the feelings that she is always near
For if you keep these moments, you will never be apart
And she will live forever locked safe within your heart
That is just lovely. Thank you for the update, Babydoll!
