To the Jones Family-

I never knew your son's and they never knew me either. Hearing about these 2 stories was just such a shock. You have to appriciate everyday of your life and take nothing for granted. I am deeply sorry for your loss and could never fathom something so tragic to happen to anyone and i'm sorry that had to happen. No matter where they are they are always going to be looking down apon you and loving you still. Always remember that.

God bless you all and stay stong. Keep the ones that you do have close to you.

Tami & Al,
I am so, so very sorry for your loss. Though our paths crossed so many, many years ago, I have not forgotten your family. I was your sponsor when you received orders to Misawa, Japan and your boys were just babies when you arrived. As the seconds, minutes, hours & days turn to weeks, months & years please know that through faith God will see you both through such a horrible year in your lives. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers through what I know must be very difficult. Again, I am so sorry.
