Peggy and Tim. So sorry to hear of your loss. Clearly, Mr. Traff is one of our "great Americans", serving his nation proudly so that we enjoy the freedoms promised by the forefather. When I read an obituary of a WW II soldier or in this case an airman, I marvel at that fact they left their families and communities and went to war for four years. They were and are without a doubt, great men and women. I am so thankful for their service. Tim told me Mr. Traff's story last night and you must be very proud. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Traff Family,
Please accept my deepest condolences on the lost of your dear loved one.
May you find comfort and peace in Jehovah God and all that He promises in his word the Bible.
"And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain"
