James Reardon Family
I have one consolation that lives with me today.
That God is near to them, in his own special
way.
So God in all Your mercy, keep near Thyself the
soul,
Of every Submariner, still on his final patrol.
Lord, this departed shipmate with Dolphins on
his chest
is part of an outfit known as the best.
Make him welcome and take him by the hand.
You'll find without a doubt he was the best in
all the land.
So, heavenly Father add his name to the roll
of our departed shipmates still on patrol.
Let them know that we who survive
will always keep their memories alive.
