I miss you so much. Today hasn't been easy. I read all your old letters and got a chance to revist our past, the "good ol days" The feeling is just undescribable. I still remember your sent, the sound of your laugh, and that smile You were always there for me when I needed you and how I wish you could be hear for me now. I wait for you in my dreams and I hoped you would appear in them more often. I still cant believe its been 12 years yet everything still feels so fresh, as if it just happened ,as if I just lost you. After all this time you are still the only true friend Ive ever had in my life. Im so blessed that our paths crossed 20 years ago. I will forever cherish that friendship and that love. You showed me what real loved felt like. You made me cry, you made me laugh, you made me see life in a new way. I always miss you , today is just a little harder. I love you J-boo Happy 35 Birthday!

Your name and actions live forever. Your family and mine watched a basic training Flight Named in your Honor march in a graduation ceremony. We walked the hall of a training room that you and I once sat it in that now bares your name and pictures of your life. I know that you are physically gone, but who you are and your story lives forever. Rest Easy Brother.

It is so hard to believe that my dear friend, my sister, (from another mother) lost her beloved son 12 years ago today. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to meet you Jason, although It was only for a weekend it was a pleasure to spend it with you, your brother, sister and your wonderful mother, my lifetime friend. I can't imagine the heartache she feel at times like this. Jason you will forever be loved and missed by your family and friends. Keep watching over those who loved you, give them strength to carry on.
To Phyllis, Joe Nathan Sr., Joe jr., Janelle and Nigel
I pray, God will comfort each of you on this day and the days that follow. Sending my love to this family!

I was fortunate to know Jason. I only knew this great young man for a few days while conducting training at Camp Speicher. Within a few minutes of being introduced to him, I knew immediately that Jason was a passionate, dedicated, and god fearing Airman. In the short time I was fortunate to spend with him, he made a great impact on me. I think of Jason often; his happy demeanor, his dedication, and his love for his country and family. My prayers to the family and friends of this great man. Jason, you continue to watch over us from a better place. See you again one day my brother.

AS this day approached, I stood in silence on the tarmac in Thomaston, GA as a young soldier was brought home. I thought about you a lot. 8 years ago during this time, I attended your funeral in Macon. As part of the PGR I have had the sad honor to stand for many young men and women who gave their lives for my freedom. I want you to know you will not be forgotten. I can never repay the debt. I know you are in Heaven.

June 23, 2015

I just moved back to GA. Its crazy to think it was Sept 2005 when we left GA on the way to Texas. Basic was crazy and fun all at the same time. I can remember Martinez, you, and Cornilous singing while aligning the shoes. its crazy how I have trouble remembering my name some days, but can remember those 7 weeks like it was yesterday. I know God connected all of us for a reason. Thanks for all the motivation and the passing of my prayers to the Lord.

Your Mom sent pictures of the family the other day. I know you are smiling down on all of them. I know you are so proud of Nigel and all of his accomplishments. In one of the pictures Nigel is sitting in his new locker at Vanderbilt with his head down and his eyes closed. I can only imagine he is speaking to our God and his big brother the American Hero.
