Combat Boots,

That is so sweet of you.

What makes it even sweeter, is that I'm IRISH. LOL.

So, right back at you, and to everyone here:

May the roads rise to meet you.
May the winds always be at your back.
May the good Lord keep you in the hollow of His hand.
And may you be in Heaven 15 minutes before the devil knows you're there!

Wasn't familiar with that last line when I did my wife's grave marker [here]; the follow-on I like comes from Numbers, I believe: "May the lord bless you and keep you, and make his countenance to shine upon you, and give you peace."
