Dad Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. It's been one year since we said our last goodbye. I pray you are finally at peace and free of pain, I hope you and Cornnell are together. I miss and love you Sherry

Poppop, i was sitting here on duty thinking about leaving for our patrol (the things i have to pack, our equipment that dosent work, equipment that we still have to fix, and people that i had to say goodbye to). You were one of these people that i had to talk to before i left, but than i remembered that i didnt have to say goodbye because i know that we will be closer on this patrol than any other that i have gone on. So instead of saying goodbye.. i will see you out there.
Love,
Dan

Love Always,
