I truly enjoyed getting to know Connor in my formative years. I remembered him as being kind, genuine, and whole-hearted as a person and a friend. I am truly sorry for your loss, and I want you to know that Connor proved to be a great help towards my life, a good friend, and was most likely of the greatest service to this country. On my side he will definitely be missed.

I don't know any of you but I saw his death on the news and was deeply saddened by it. Any of us who have children, know how devastating the death of a child would be so I wanted you to know that I am praying for you and will continue to pray that the Lord will give you strength for each day and peace.
