Thousands mourn at funeral of Canadian soldier slain in Ottawa
HAMILTON Ontario - Thousands of mourners packed a church and lined the streets outside it in industrial Hamilton, Ontario, on Tuesday for the funeral of the soldier shot dead in last week’s attack on the nation’s seat of government.

Corporal Nathan Cirillo, 24, was one of two soldiers killed in a pair of attacks last week that police said were carried out independently by radical recent converts to Islam. The assaults took place as Canada's military was stepping up its involvement in air strikes against Islamic State militants in Iraq.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper told mourners at the church that Cirillo had inspired and united Canadians. He choked back tears in a rare public display of emotion when addressing Cirillo's five-year-old son.

"May time ease the searing pain of today. And may his son, young Marcus Daniel Cirillo, some day find comfort in the fact that our entire country looks up to his dad with pride, with gratitude with deep abiding respect," Harper said.

Major the Reverend Canon Rob Fead opened the ceremony calling Cirillo "Canada's son". Cirillo's cousin, Jenny Holland, and Lieutenant-Colonel Lawrence Hatfield, who had been his commanding officer, also spoke.

My comments; such a touching military funeral for 24 year old Nathan Cirillo, especially watching his 5 year old Son Marcus, walking along with the procession, wearing his father's Cap.and then later, riding in car, waving a small Canadian Flag through an open window.

The other soldier, who was killed earlier in Quebec, by a terrorist, will have a private, full military funeral on Saturday, Nov. 1st, which is associated with all Saints Day.

God Bless these men who willing gave their lives for our freedom by their faithful service for Canada. May they both rest in peace in God's kingdom.

Last but not least, thank you so much for our American Brothers and Sisters who traveled especially to come to his funeral, for this fallen solider in solidarity against terrorist acts and for the kind and warm wishes the family received. God Bless, Valerie

Valerie,

I look forward to the wonderful day that our Lord reigns and there will be a lasting Holy peace across the world and wonderful precious men such as this young Canadian man will not have to lose their lives fighting a satanic force who possess men to carry out such evil.

Lord be with Corporal Nathan Cirillo's family, hold that 5 year old in your loving arms please comfort him, protect him and guide him all the days of his life.

Lord be with Canada, bless and protect its people Lord, be a guiding light to their government so their people can live in peace.

Amen

Julie, Thank you so much for your prayers for this young soldier who lost his life, due to enemy attack on his Country's soil. I know his family and his little boy Marcus sure could use all the prayers, as it's not going to be easy for them, to continue with everyday living without him. May the good Lord comfort them one and all. May Nathan be at rest in peace in God's kingdom.


Thank you Heidi, for agreeing in prayer as well, God Bless you both, and
may the good Lord keep you safe under His wing until Jesus comes.

Maranatha!

Valerie
