Hello Officer Lang. Your mother contacted me recently to talk to me about my brother's death and tell me about the survivor's group in Houston. She told me about you.

I respect and admire you and the service you provided to us every day. Your experience was a valuable resource that I know is missed. Your loss was a serious loss to the nation.

I am looking forward to meeting your mother the next time I am in Houston.

Please rest in peace and let my brother know how much I miss him.
