Ranger Guffey,

I'm sure there are many who think of you often, and some, like your wife and children, think of you daily. Especially on this day which is the 39th anniversary of your passing. I will pray for your wife and children, as well as the rest of your family, friends, loved ones and colleagues. Hope you are continuing to rest in peace.

Greater love has no one than this, that a person will lay down his life for his friends. - John 15:13
