John D. Patterson
Thank you for your service to this nation. Because you bravely stood in the breach, we are free to gather, celebrate your life and witness to our mutual faith in the Resurrection! Sempre Fi!
May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
May the rain fall softly upon your fields
And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand!
Eternal Rest grant unto your faithful servant O Lord,
May your perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the Mercy of God
Rest in Peace, Amen!
