I pray this dear son, brave soldier, and Canadian patriot is now resting in the arms of Jesus. May all of us still here on planet earth be sobered by the kind of bravery it takes to lay down your life for the love of your country and it's peoples. We appreciate all of our soldiers and what their work for Canada means to peace in the world. My deepest sympathies to this family and pray serenity for them through all of the days ahead. In His Love, Sharon
