I still don't really know what to say. Your wife and children are so beautiful. Your brothers and sisters miss you. You were cut from a different cloth and you taught me many things. I never imagined that you would be killed so early in your patrol career. I think of you often and am more careful when I do certain things. God decided he needed you more than those of us down here. That's a hard pill to swallow but my faith teaches me that I trust him.
Fidelis ad Mortem my brother who I loved with all of my heart.
