    Dear Family and Friends,

    Please except my condolences for the death of your loved one. Death is not easy. In the Bible at Revelation 21:4 Almighty God promises " He will wipe away every tear from their eyes and there will be no more death, nor outcry, nor mourning, nor pain the former things have passed away". This is a wonderful hope for the future. May peace and hope be with you at this difficult time.

    What ever slight disability Jameson Lindskog may have had in the real world, he surpassed it many times over, with his kind heart towards his fellow man. His last words "just hold my hand" I never met nor new him, but I this, he was sent from heaven.

    This article made me want to cry; as someone with AS myself, I can appreciate his bravery... I surely wouldn't be brave enough to do what he did for our country. I can tell he was a wonderful person. Rest in Peace
