I'm so sorry about you mom.

This was recited and handed out at the services on an "In Memory" card.

A Soldiers Prayer

I saw a soldier kneeling down, for this was the first quiet place he had found. He had traveled through jungles, rivers and mud. His hands were scarred and toil-worn. He had fought for days from night 'til morn. He folded his hands and looked to the sky....

I saw his tears, as they welled in his eyes. He spoke to God, and this is what he said:

God bless my men, who now lie dead, I know not what You have in mind, but when You judge, please be kind.....when they come before You, they will be poorly dressed, but will walk proudly, for they have done their best. Their boots will be muddy and their clothes all torn. Their hearts will be still and cold inside, for they have fought their best and did so with pride. So please take care of them as they pass Your way.....the price of freedom they've already paid.

<<Sorry for your loss>>

If there's one thing I have gained from TV it's that phrase used on NYPD Blue. Never knew what to say, um er, she's better off now. That old standard didn't cut it and didn't show empathy for the survivor. Sorry for your loss nails it.
