Elizabeth-
I am so sorry to hear about your son's and family's loss. It is so sad to hear the numbers of troops killed in war, especially when you realize that each and every one of those soldiers leaves someone behind. *hugs to you and your family* I wish I could do more!

Elizabeth,
I am so sorry. I am a mom of 4 boys. My 20 year old is a Lance Corperal in the Marine Corp... Our small community has lost 3 kids to Iraq - we have so many family members and friends (4 of my sons high school buddies are in Iraq), 3 of our nephews and our son leaves this spring... We also have a 19 year old son in the Coast Guard.....balancing the emotions of this war - is hard on a "good day".. you are in my thoughts and prayers....

So sorry Elizabeth--it becomes increasingly difficult to hear of more loss of these boys and girls in Iraq. I'm thinking of you, and them, at this time.

Elizabeth, I am so sorry to hear about your son's friend. I will certainly keep you all in my prayers. We have 2 boys in our church who are in the armed forces right now--it's heartbreaking sometimes because from this vantage point in life (I'm 49) they almost look like they're still little boys just playing at being soldiers. But the reality of what they're actually doing, and risking, and the fact that they're so young for all this responsibility and risk just drives you to your knees. It's very sobering, and they deserve our utmost respect and honor.

Hugs to you and your son, his friend's family. May the God of all comfort hold you close during this time.
It is not an easy thing to walk through, but you will get through. My thoughts are with his wife.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!

Elizabeth, I am so sorry for the loss of your son's friend. How I wish this war was over and the troops could come home. I see all the names and the ages on Sunday morning and it breaks my heart. May God bless the soldier's family and yours.

Dear Elizabeth,
I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your son's friend. Tragedies such as these, are so difficult to bear, they remind us of the fragility of life. But, Oh such heroes, that stand on the wall and keep watch, that we may lead lives that are comfortable and without fear. I am in awe of their great dedication, and I feel completely in their debt, and they will always be super heroes to me...
God bless you, and keep you and all those who suffer at this time..
love, Cilla |
