Grampy,
It's still hard to believe that you are gone. I am a lucky girl to have had such a wonderful grandfather for 33 years of my life. I love you and will miss you always. I hope you and my dad are enjoying some time together!

Semper Fi Marine Jenkins.
The Dept. of Ma. Marine Corp League thanks you for your service to God, our Country, and to our beloved Corps.
To Edward's family we send our deepest sympathies and our prayers on your loss and the loss of our Brother. Ed has now reported to the Supreme Commandant for his final and most important assignment. He will serve with the same dignity, honor, courage and committment as he did here on Earth. While Ed's earthly being is no longer with us, his spirit will remain in your hearts forever thru the loving memories he gave you. Ed will watch over you always from the streets of Heaven where all Marines report.
Though this is a very trying time please know that God had his reasons for calling Ed to his service and we cannot ever understand why but we know that only the best are called to the gates of Heaven. May God bless you and be at your side as you try to go forward without the presence on earth of our dearly beloved Edward
Semper Fidelis
