Brandi Mcconnell
John Hand, you truly have a beautiful soul.
You were an amazing husband, father, grandfather, uncle, friend, and coworker. You have done right by everyone in your life. I don't think I could say a bad thing about you or your family if I tried. Anybody who knew you knew you gave everything your all. You always put forth your best. In marriage, fatherhood, your career. Everything. You gave what you had., and you sacrificed the most sacred thing in life for your country.
It was an honor to have met you and been able to provide you the care you earned and deserved to have. Thank you for accepting me into your heart and trusting me with that honor. I will never forget you or how deeply you have touched my heart. If I ever had a doubt about what my career was meant to be, you put a stop to that. Being there for you and your family during your hardships meant everything to me. I will never forget the day you told my supervisor if I was your granddaughter, I'd be your favorite. You hold a special place in my heart, and you always will. I love you. I'm so glad I got to be there for you. I know you are in good hands with the Lord.
