    Three memories of Kristofferson B. Lorenzo

    It's been a long time since Kris and my husband were stationed together at Ft Bragg, but we never forgot about him. Kris was such a nice guy; always smiling and laughing. I know he's touched so many people with his positive energy. We will miss him dearly!

    I didn't know Kris, but I'm sure he was a very nice young man. That's such an awful way to die. Please except my condolences, family and friends. In the Bible at Revelation 21:4 it tells us what Almighty God has purposed. It says "He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be any more. The former things have passed away". This gives us a wonderful hope for the future. May peace and hope be with you at this difficult time.

    THANK YOU!!!!!!! For your sacrifice, words do little to describe our sincere gratitude. However, There is a hope for a future where such wonderful people will not have to die in the wars of the world. ISAIAH 2:4 And he will certainly render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. And they will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore....REV 21:3,4-"death will be no more"
