Not sure what to say?

Jeri Cameron Berlin, namesake of Jeri Van Buskirk remembers the love and respect for Francis. Francis was the namesake of Captain Francis, the only patriot casualty of the revolutionary war battle of Shallowford. Courage and dedication marked these fighters and survivors, and his descendants are grateful for those heroes and what they gave us.

I didn't know him, I did go to school with Sue, and Gary. I never knew he was a Bataan Death March survivor until recently. What a great man he must have been.

I just recieved "The Quan" and noticed the passing of Mr. Van Buskirk. My father Paul Roessler and Mr. Van Buskirk served together.
I just wanted to let the family know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I am so sorry for your loss. You have my sincere sympathy.

Earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal. We will keep you in our prayers.

Francis left his mark in this world as a loving husband, father, and grandfather. May your family find the strength in your sorrow to celebrate his gifts. My prayers for you and your family in this time of loss.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
