Explaining a sentence

Hello,

I do not understand this sentence (I copied out the sentence from a message I saw on one Facebook page). Please make clear "to be sure" (I mean, what is the subject of "to be sure"?).

This will come in handy as reference to be sure

THANK YOU!

"to be sure" is a set phrase meaning "certainly" or "without doubt". A comma might help the sentence: This will come in handy as reference, to be sure.
