To Najee Williams mom Tracy,

You sat next to my husband & me on the flight from Chicago to San Diego on Sept 19th; you told me why you were on your way there and my heart broke for you. I had lost my son Damon six years earlier, so I knew what you were experiencing and would have to endure in the days to come. I have thought about you every day since that flight, hoping you were holding up, whatever that means when you lose a beloved child. Your son died on my son's birthday, Sept. 18; he would have been 49.

I tried to contact the marines for your address, but no luck. I will just leave this note in hopes that you will see it. I just wanted you to know I will never forget you, God bless.

I am so saddened by Najee's passing. We were just getting re-acquainted as family.

I had texted him shortly after his dad passed away in 2014. However, I didn't hear back from him until a couple weeks ago on September 15th. He apologized for the delay and said that he had just recently seen the text. We texted back and forth a little bit about family connections..and now he's gone. His presence, though brief, will be truly missed.

Sincerest condolences from the Hooks and Parr families. Praying for strength and courage to bear the sorrow that we are all feeling.
