Rest in peace, Cowboy.
Beautifully done, bentfeather.
....but I will look forward to meeting him in Heaven.
Don't cry for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
to laugh, to love, to cry, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that peace of sunset this day.
Since my parting will leave a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.
My life's been full, I've savored much,
Good friends, good times,
my loved one's touch.
Perhaps to you, my time was all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me home, He set me free.
Thank you for the ping. God Bless all our Marines. Bless the family too.
Beautiful. Nothing can destroy our hope in Christ.
hope his family can rest easy now, knowing he is okay.
Prayers for Texas Cowboy and prayers of comfort to all his family and friends
Hugs for you and Lost Thread.
Am so sorry. TC was a wonderful, kind, loving father and a good friend to all of us here on Free Republic. Texas Termite will miss his buddy. Now though TC is free from all pain and in the arms of the Lord.
Thank you TC for being you and for all you gave to others. We're so sorry you had to leave. We will miss you terribly but we will always have the memory and the pleausre of knowing you always in our hearts.
Sad in Colorado...
Sad news, indeed.
May he rest in God's hands...and may those same Hands comfort his loved ones.
He was a shining example to me.
I'll always carry a piece of him with me.
Some die saintly in faith and hope--
...
Some die easily. This dies hard.
Heart breaking news. My prayers are with him and his family.
NO!! I wasn't ready for this.
Thank you. That is how I will remember him as well.
Rest in peace, Mr. Texas Cowboy. God Speed and Prayers for your loved ones.
May he rest in peace. Condolences to the family.
