Obituary
Send FlowersEven before he joined the Marines, Nicholas Larson liked to walk around in fatigues. He was so eager to join that he enlisted before he graduated from high school last year. "He was doing what he wanted to do. He was a Marine _ and a good one," said his grandfather Patrick O''Sullivan, a World War II veteran. Larson, 19, of Wheaton, Ill., was killed by hostile fire Nov. 9 around Fallujah during the offensive against insurgents. He was based at Camp Pendleton, Calif. Teachers remembered Larson as a dedicated, intense student who was respectful in class. He felt confident as he headed off to Iraq that he was doing the right thing. "He was afraid, but he was ready to go," said his former teacher, Lisa Doherty. He is survived by his parents. "The best we can do for Nick is pray for him and pray for his buddies that they get out safe," his grandfather said.

My husband called you Sven. It's like you live here with us everyday. He misses you so very much. I wanted to thank you for being you. I wish I could've met you and thanked you in person but one day I will have my chance. I'm glad you are in our family like you are. You read all the time like I do. We named our son Patton and I hope you would have liked it since you loved tank warfare. I wanted to name him for you but my husband said it was too painful. They are both so good and I am so...

I just wanted to say that you are being thought of on this Memorial Day weekend. You are a true American Hero.
If I could have one wish, it would be that every American would stop whatever they are doing for a minute or two and say a little prayer for our Military.
HEROES NEVER DIE. THEY LIVE IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER.
with love and respect,

Your family is in our thoughts at what must be a difficult time of year. Nick must be so proud of you right now, for all you have done in his memory.

In Memory of Nicholas ~ (Debra Estep)
Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you...
