Don and I went to Pleasant Grove Baptist Church for a little while many years ago. He and I both served in Vietnam as Marines and we were both members of Marine Corps League post 260. Don has been reassigned and now protects the streets of Gold in Heaven. (Sharp hand salute)
May God comfort you in your time of grief.
