My heart goes out to you and your Family. Nancy, you have sacrificed to be the pillar of strength for an entire family..not only for your Father in his time of need, but for your Mother and Sister too..with not nearly enough credit. Because of you, things were so much better for them. We are so sorry for your loss.

Mr. Creighton,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army in Korea fighting Communism. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
