Dear Sergeant,
Thank you and your entire godly family for your service. May Angels watch over us that you left behind, we have godly men and women from all walks of life. Thousands you may have saved, but we never knew, words that you spoke changed hundreds of lives, we never knew. But we will one day. Because we're still holding the line praying for godly servants like you.
I pray for your family because I had a divine encounter with your mama, up here Charlotte way.
She is so proud of you, but would have never said a word save what I spoke out about my life, she said you never know what people go through.
I know she and your family miss you, so does the community of not only your state, but the world that you helped to make a better place along with your family who supported you in every way.
God Bless You All and Thank You All who supported this godly man.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
May your hearts be healed of all trauma.
In Jesus name.

Kathy Hudson
Acquaintance, mama.
