Kevin,
I echo all of my brothers and sisters worldwide when I say how sorry I am for your loss. May the lord give you and your family strength to cope in these times of sorrow.
When duty call's me,oh lord, my partner,
When flames do their destructive work,
Give me strength to save lives
And, above all, keep my courage bright.
Wtih you will I reach, before it's too late,
The injured child, the helpless old person,
With your generosity, may I be able
To spare them the horror of such an end.
Since I must always be alert,
I pray thee, oh Lord, guide my every move,
And in the infernal tumlut of the fire
Let me hear the feeblest cry.
I will glory in fulfillment of my destiny,
For is not life-saving the most noble calling?
When the storm is over and all have returned home,
Then I will be proud to have helped my neighbor.
If it should happen, by thy will,
That I must give my life,
I pray thee, protect my family
And bless this firefighter who is yours...
