Another RIP from Iraq

Remember in your prayers Spc Steven Jesse Bishop +, Floyd native, who died from non-combat related illness last week in Iraq.  He was a volunteer firefighter in Floyd during the time I was an EMT and our paths crossed many times.  He did reconstruction work in Iraq.  Sigh.... may God have mercy on Steven, his family and loved ones.  May our dear Lord have mercy on all who live and are deployed in war zones, and areas of conflict.  Dear God in the name of your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and in unity with the Holy Spirit, one God forever-have mercy and please bring peace and protect them from evil.
