Most Recent Reflection
View all 205 ReflectionsJust had a little recap of days past. Listened to "Lay the Warriors to Rest" (Black Rifle Company). Your memory will last, I truly will never forget. Had a loss myself a couple of years ago, I will never get over. I pray for your family. I really can empathize now with how much they must grieve. Tried to make it to Fort Worth for the 20th, but it wasn't to be.
