In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing.

Today we bid farewell to a friend. Someone we respected and looked up to. Someone whose welcoming approach and easy smile made it seem like you had known him for years.

In a tragic incident today at Nellis AFB, Lt. Col. Thomas Bouley {affectionately known as Moses} embarked on his final flight. The void that remains, although so new and surreal, is unmeasurable. He leaves behind an amazing wife, and two unbelievable sons.

We are undone.
Our hearts are shattered as we think about the painful reality which will be faced in the coming days. We can never be prepared for something so sudden, so without warning, so unfair. With heavy hearts, we pray that the family finds needed strength to get through the challenges that lie ahead.

Heaven truly gained an asset today. The world that remains will never be the same.
