To Jim Deadrick, Reagan, and all of the brothers and sisters, (several of whom I knew), who were there for my father, you have my heartfelt thanks. My family and my mothers friends all commented on how wonderful it was that you would do this for him. I said to them, this is what we do, and explained why, and to a person, were in awe. You all did yourselves proud, and made me prouder than ever to be a member.
I can never thank you enough, for how great you made my mother feel. It was a very short notice mission, but as always, you were there. Thanks again.
