<p class=MsoNormalCxSpMiddle>Ladies and Gentlemen,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormalCxSpMiddle><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormalCxSpMiddle>I have some sad news to give you today. Many
of you know Harold and Terri Tranter. They are two of our PGR members
here in North Texas. Harold is our web master. Terri is his
daughter and both can be seen at every mission it is humanly possible for them
to attend. Both are veterans. Just this past Saturday, Cris Tranter
passed away. Cris is Harold’s son, Terri’s brother.
Cris was divorced and was raising his two children. He had been injured
about six years ago in a motorcycle accident when struck by a drunk driver and had
been unable to work since then.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormalCxSpMiddle><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormalCxSpMiddle>I know you share my great sorrow for this loss.
Cris didn’t serve in the military and I ask that you please say a prayer
for Cris, his two children, Harold, Terri and the rest of the family.
After what we’ve all seen so many times we can imagine how tragic it must
be for a parent to have to see a child pass away and only those among us who
have experienced it can know that pain.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormalCxSpMiddle><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormalCxSpMiddle>Two of our family members are hurting and I know
you are reaching out to them with your hearts to hold them close, and I’m
also sure that on some level they feel that.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormalCxSpMiddle><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormalCxSpMiddle>Thank you.<o:p></o:p></p>
