Jason,
May you always be remembered as the good person and loving father and husband you are, not to leave out the ultimate sacrifice you made to defend your country. Heaven is where I’m sure you are now, next to our loving God and all your loved ones who have who have passed before you. I’m sorry I did’nt have the chance to know you better. Our meeting was only brief, but I will remember you for a long time, your family,I know, loves you very much and will miss you for a time immeasurable. I pray for you and I’m sure I’ll see you in heaven.
