Instead of sending flowers the family would like donations made to Wounded Warrior Project (https://www.facebook.com/wwp/). Thank you for all your love and support.
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from
Ecclesiastes 3:1-22
A special thank you to Dave Rohner for officiating /speaking for the family.
