Dear Barbara Ann & family -- I am so sorry for your loss. We shouldn't have to bury our children; he was so young. I love you all. I pray you may receive God's comfort and blessings during these sad days.

We shared some great times together in Marine Corps bootcamp. The D.I.'s tried their best to break us but Longdon and myself were too hard headed to fall for their b.s. I often thought of him through the years. I was saddened to find out he passed. Loved the guy! We leaned on each other and we laughed out way through the entire bootcamp. Ooh Rah Semper Fi and my condolences. Sincerely, Brian Westerlund USMC
