Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I'm so sorry to hear your sad news, Cindy. I'm praying for your father's soul, for you and especially for Robbie as he confronts the Red Cross message and works to turn around and come home...I know what it's like to be overseas and get these types of calls...

Update:

I am still here in 'Bama, the girls and I are staying for a few weeks with my stepmom.

The funeral was lovely, my four oldest girls sang Amazing Grace...though I could not look at them, they sang beautifully. There was an Honor Guard, and Presentation of the flag to my stepmom. The moment it was over, she gave it to me, and I lost it. Such a kind thing for her to do for me. All of my kids except Robbie were able to make it. He had permission to come home but not the leave time or money. We lit a white candle with a Blackhawk pin in it next to a picture of Robbie and my daddy to include him.

Thank y'all for the prayers, they mean so much to me.
