To David Abellas Family:

I was stationed with your son in Grand Isle, LA and I remember the first time you went to visit David. He introduced me to you. David was a good friend of mine, him and I hung out alot. I remember he would always talk about his abuela.

I thought about David today and spoke to my wife about how cool he was. So I came on this site and started reading these wonderful comments from his family and friends. My heart is still heavy for you guys and I want to thank you for allowing me to be a part of your sons life.

R.I.P. my brother.
