To My Dearest Dad,
Dad you meant the world to me, and i never will forget you or all you did and your generosity to all.
You always had a funny joke and a kind word for anyone. When i was little you would put me on your shoulders and in your arms on the porch and i would stretch my arm out to the sky and i'd say daddy reach the moon for me, well now you can reach the big moon up in the deep blue skies for me and hold it til someday we'll be together again. My heart is sore and as time goes by i know i'll miss you more. You were a man of great dignity and died beloved by all. Now you are with the love of your life "My Mom" . And your suffering is now over my dear dad. So this is not a farewell my dad but a new beginning, til we meet again.
"I Love You Always" and may you be at peace, have comfort, contentment and mostly love from all.
Your Loving Daughter,
God Bless You, Love Peggi XOXO

Mr. Walsh,
Sir, I didn't know you, but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army in the Pacific at Guadalcanal during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. The Battle of Guadalcanal was one of the toughest prolonged battles that our Country fought against the Japanese in the first year of WW II. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
