Thanks Joe. It doesn't seem like 30 years ago, and it is an event often overlooked. I will pause for a moment in memory.

[Bama Red]

That was the day after my Bride and I got married and I remember it well.

 

RIP, our honored dead.

[Harvey Mushman]

Thank you Joe. Lost some friends in that whole scenario.

 

Remembering is important.

Thanks for reminding me, Harvey.

 

O God of spirits and of all flesh, Who hast trampled down death

and overthrown the Devil, and given life to Thy world, do Thou, the same

Lord, give rest to the souls of Thy departed servants in a place of

brightness, a place of refreshment, a place of repose, where all

sickness, sighing, and sorrow have fled away. Pardon every transgression

which they have committed, whether by word or deed or thought. For Thou

art a good God and lovest mankind; because there is no man who lives

yet does not sin, for Thou only art without sin, Thy righteousness is to

all eternity, and Thy word is truth.

 

For Thou are the Resurrection, the Life, and the Repose of Thy

servants who have fallen asleep, O Christ our God, and unto Thee we

ascribe glory, together with Thy Father, who is from everlasting, and

Thine all-holy, good, and life-creating Spirit, now and ever unto ages

of ages.

 

Grant rest eternal in blessed repose, o Lord, to Thy servants who have fallen asleep,

And make their memory to be eternal.

 

Amen.
