Christiansen (Bobby) of Greensboro; grandchildren, Michael Williams (Jannah), Kimberly Williams, Christopher Sappenfield (Lindsay), Alexander Kirkman, Brian Kirkman, Robert Christiansen, Rachel Christiansen and five great-grandchildren.

A very special thank you to Maj. Coley Grubb for being a fellow paratrooper in arms.

Was hoping to see Connie and Bonnie at our 50th reunion the first of this month. Would love to hear from Connie and where she is, being her first born child was on the exact date of my first son's birth October 9, 1981. Hope all of you are well and knowing how losing our parents can be tough as both of mine are now in heaven, mother passing the first of this year and dad five years ago. Still think of them and think of your family in hopes of seeing both Connie and Bonnie. Be blessed and know comforts us in the loss of our loved ones.
