In Memory Of A Hero And A Brother

Received by e-mail from David T. Little:

Dear Family & Friends,

In this Holy Christmas Season, my brother-in-law Sgt. Greg John Kruse, for me and our family a great hero, offered the ultimate sacrifice in service to his country and terribly oppressed men, women and children in Afghanistan on Saturday, December 27, 2008 at 12:15 PM. My sister Jill and Greg were married in June of 1996. Three beautiful little girls, twins Megan and Victoria, aged 6, and Kari Anne, aged 11 are now left without a daddy and my sister without her dear spouse. We are all very grieved at this great loss and I implore your prayers for my dear beloved sister and her little ones. Here is a photo taken on a recent Remembrance Day of Greg & his little girls....

Greg died on the Feast of St. John the Evangelist, whose name he shared and so I ask your good prayers to this Saint that he may intercede with our good God for the repose of his soul. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him. We love you Greg, and will never forget you and your selfless heroism.

Here is a photo I took a few years go at our home in Fredericton of Jill and Kari Anne.... you can see where the children get their beauty!

This is such a sorrow for the whole family. Please pray for Jill and the girls...please? And his family members and ours.

Let us all pray ardently for an end to the horrific disrespect to the dignity of human life throughout Canada and the world and for an end to the culture of death that the evil one insidiously advances in war on the Holy Innocents promoting murder in the womb and on heroic souls like dear Greg.

May God bless you all in 2009.

David
