Not sure what to say?

I had the pleasure to work with david at national metals. He was a young wonderful person. Rest in peace david.

My prayers go out to herbie and family. God rest david soul.

Berlinda and other family members, I'm so sorry for your loss. Deiby always had a smile and could make me laugh. I will always remember him making a cardboard Cross to tape to his machine. As he applied it, he would bow his head, say a prayer and have a perfect day. He is with Jesus and the angels. Rest in Peace, Deiby.

Deiby, My brother at arms and dear friend
Its with a heavy heart that I watch you leave us
To a place where there is no more suffering or pain
I will keep the memories of us sitting out in the woods with the 2/104th wondering what the hell we were doing there
Sharing laughs and stories, complaining about the food they would serve us. It seems like yesterday my friend
I was blessed to have known you Deiby, you always marched to the beat of your own drum, but thats what...

Our condolences to the entire Colon family we have been friends and grew up together in Springfield.
No words can help heal the loss of a loved one.
I hope you find some comfort during this difficult time. Victor and Sherry Gomez.

Maggie and family. you will be missed very much. we are at peace knowing you are home where you want to be.

Berlinda and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you through this time of sorrow.
