Not sure what to say?

My husband and I (we are grandparents) were driving through West Point last week and I saw Richard's cross on the side of the road. I looked him up and we were so moved by his story and that of all who loved him. We just want to say we are so sorry for the loss of this young man and send our condolences to all of you. This young man's short time on earth continues to be recognized and valued because all of you are dedicated to making it so. God bless you all.
