My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. I didn't know your mother or father but approximately 1 month ago I found an Arlington National Cemetery Prayer Card for Capt. William Shaughnessy in the Giant Parking lot in Colesville. I would like to return this prayer card to your family. Again I am so sorry for yout loss.
