Maj. Olmsted was a gifted writer and blogger who had readers worldwide. His subtlety and personal touch will be missed.
Prayers for his soul and his family!
Here's part of his farewell message:
"I'm dead. That sucks, at least for me and my family and friends," he wrote. "But all the tears in the world aren't going to bring me back, so I would prefer that people remember the good things about me rather than mourning my loss. (If it turns out a specific number of tears will, in fact, bring me back to life, then by all means, break out the onions.)"
