I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine how you or your family has gone through this. I also had a son graduate from MCRD this past August and I spread the plea to locate your Mom. Though I know this is not what you and your family ever hoped or wanted to find, I know this will give some answers and peace in knowing she is found. I pray it was quick and you all are able to rest easy knowing how much she loves and is proud of each and everyone of you. If I can do anything for anyone, please contact me [email protected], God Bless you all.

To Pvt Williams: I have recently learned of your Mother's death and I wanted you to know how truly sorry I am for your loss. My son recently graduated from Marine Boot Camp in November 2013 and I know how special that graduation ceremony was. I was so touched by the fact that you had your Mother's photo with you for your graduation day and I know that she was right there watching everything. Never forget how much she loved you. I trust that you will continue to excel in your Marine Corps career and I am so proud of all of you who serve our country. I am going to share your story with my son, who is now heading to Twentynine Palms base. He is a prayer warrior and he along with all of my family will lift you and your family up to God and pray for healing, peace, and comfort. Thank you again for your service to our country.
