We loved, shared, prayed, fought, forgave, and many more things. I wish now I had taken more advantage of the time. I often wonder what it would be like to have you here now. You have the advantage because Mom and Dad are with you, and many of our aunts and uncles. Actually, now that Aunt Louise is upstairs, you guys could get a great pinochle game going.
Life is very unpredictable, no doubt about it.
We must take advantage of the short time we have here to make a difference. You made a big difference in a lot of people's lives, helping them, caring for them, and the ultimate sacrifice of giving your life so others could live. You so believed in what you were doing in Viet Nam and knew you were needed there. Knowing that, all these years made things a bit easier, learning to live without your smile, your laugh, your charismatic personality. I thank the Lord that we had such a wonderful person in you for the time you were here.
