Dear God, You are our Creator, and the author of the precious gift of life. We come today to remember and to honor a life that is precious to us. We mourn the loss of Kenneth Toth. He was a man of courage, loyalty, and duty. He was one of the few and the proud; he was a marine. He was an amazing husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather; who generously chose selfless service throughout his life to protect and defend his family, his friends, and his country. Lord, help us to honor his memory this day. Lord, we also want to honor the sacrifice that his family gave - in order to allow him to serve our country. We are aching from a void that has been created in our heart. We lift up our sadness and grief to you, Lord. We ask that you would comfort us in our pain, and bring us an abundance of your gentle healing mercies. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
