Please direct your comments and prayers to milagro, the wife of 1John.

I buried my mother not too long ago so I have tasted the same free-fall of grief that you are dealing with now, I can only offer you my most heartfelt condolences and a fervent wish that you can find comfort in the fact that a great life is sometimes cut short!

As a FReeper he had the higher goal of making America a better place and for that effort he will be remembered fondly!!

Milagro, I am praying for you and the rest of your family. He will be missed by us all.

Got your ping... she has my prayers...

[Colt .45]

The best tribute to your husband I can make as a fellow veteran is this from the Bard -

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

All of us have lost today, for another brother is gone. My prayers go with you ma'am.

Sincerely,
Colt .45
