Thank you.

I don't know who you are, or what you did, but I'm sorry you're gone. I never met you, but I miss you anyway. I know I'm just a random stranger, and this probably doesn't mean much, but thank you for your service. Rest in peace.

honoring you...

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.
