I am terribly sorry that I was unable to attend this mission, but am touched that so many showed their support for this young Marine!

I know that I speak for the Marines from Portland, PGR did us all proud on this mission!

Thank you, very much....and am grateful for help getting Pipey to the mission!

Though I was not able to be there today, Lance Cpl. Derek Jones, you have been on my mind since we were notified by your family. I want to thank Biker Babe, Sherrie for being there at the right time and also letting us know of this sad circumstance. I also want ot thank SsgtBam, Pat Moritiz who worked with me those many hours getting the groundwork set for this mission. Pat also was instrumental in selecting Matt. as he lives in Salem and was one of our chaplains. Together, all of us were able to do our part in honoring you, Lance Cpl Jones. I pray that your family feels love that goes out to your from us and your community. God keep you, always,
With Care, Epic

Marine L/Cpl Derek Jones will not be forgotten!

 

Here are two of the responses from his friends in Hawaii received at www.myspace.com/qfocal this morning

"Q,
Thank you so much for the pics, you have know idea what this means to us here. I have a few friends over and we all started crying when we were looking at the pics. We all wanted to be at the funeral but we couldn't, you brought us as close as we could get. Thank you once again."

"Hello, i would like to say thank you for everything that you do. It is so amazing how you take time to go photograph for fallen soldiers. I'm a marine wife and my husband and i were friends of Derek's and it's been hard on all of us here especially Derek's wife Pamela and their 2 year old daughter. We used to all go on a boat on base and we'd go out to the sand bars and us girls would just hang out while Derek and my husband would go snorkeling and pick up crabs. Those are the kind of good times we all need to remember. Anyway, an accquintance of mine showed me your website and it's amazing. Please, keep up the good work."
