To all ...
My Father was laid to rest this past Thursday at Jefferson Barracks Military Cemetary.To all of my extended family here all I can say is ThankYou,sincerly ThankYou.Your prayers have given us strenght and your words have given us hope that all will be well for us.
I want to share something with you if I may...I remembered some of these words as the bugler played Taps for my Father and family...I tried to remember them all as he played but couldn't...so I found them a little while ago and thought you might like to see them here.
Day is done, gone the sun,
From the hills, from the lake, From the skies. All is well,
safely rest,
God is nigh.
Go to sleep,
peaceful sleep,
May the soldier or sailor, God keep.
On the land or the deep, Safe in sleep.
Love, good night,
Must thou go, When the day,
And the night Need thee so?
All is well.
Speedeth all To their rest.
Fades the light; And afar Goeth day,
And the stars Shineth bright, Fare thee well;
Day has gone, Night is on.
Thanks and praise,
For our days, 'Neath the sun, Neath the stars, 'Neath the sky,
As we go, This we know,
God is nigh.
As I sit here typing this I have one of the cartridge cases given to my Mother when they presented to her with His flag.It's one that will always remain empty and in a place of Honour in my home.
Thank You all again for your support
Mac
