I was thinking of you tonight! I was hoping you could watch over TJ. I am sure you already are but they moved him to a differnt location today and we won't have any contact for a month. I know he is not in a combat zone but you never know what could happen. Love you and miss you. Chris

Jill and Emily,
I just heard about Dusty what a tragedy for you two, the only way I knew anything about what happened is Liz told Mike that Emily said her daddy died, I am so sorry I wish I could have been there for you guys my heart breaks for you two in a god awful way. No words can ever put ease to a persons mind when something like this has happened. If you need anything please let me know I will help where I can. We love you guys and Dusty will be greatly missed.
Love,
Jackie, Mike, Ruth and Elizabeth Fetzner

Jill & Emily, Crystal, Dave, Babe, & family- I am very sorry for your loss. My family and I have you in our prayers. Dusty is such a great person and I loved his positive attitude on life. Even though I haven't seen him for awhile, I still remember his giggly laugh which always made me laugh even more. He added to the great memories that I have of Manhattan and was truly a great person who will be missed.

So sorry for your loss. May God be with you in your time of need. Our condolences to you and your family.
We had met Dusty through Nick Gonda ( Robby's Cousin) back in 2004. Although it has been several years since we last seen Dusty, we always got updates on how Dusty and family are doing through Nick. Every time Nick came over he would talk about Dusty and all the things they are doing together. Dusty's passing will be a huge loss for eveyone who knew and loved him.
