Thank you for your service to our country.
Thank you for allowing us to care for you. Thank you for being a friend. I enjoyed our chats. You will be missed.
Nancy,
It was our pleasure to get to know you
and Carl for a short while. I enjoyed our chats as well. Thank you for your service because wives and families also serve

God bless.
