The courage Marc and Laurie had with this whole illness has been an inspiration to myself and my family. May he be rockin' on... and fishin' with all those who passed before him.

What a wonderful tribute to Marc. It speaks of the person that he was, the way in which he lived his life through service to our country and how he chose to enjoy other parts of the life he was blessed with. I have a gut feeling that including Barclay would have put a smile of approval on his face too.
