Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. I only had the pleasure of meeting this sweet lady one time. I was talking with her daughter at the VA hospital in Johnson City and she told me it had been a life long dream for her mom to meet a Navy Seal. About a month later I was able to make her dream come true. The only day it could happen she was scheduled to have surgery. She postponed her surgery and met my son and daughter in law in Johnson City and they spent the day together. It made her very happy. The circle of life always comes to an end. Try to make someone smile along the way. Rest in peace.

  2. Marguerite, you were one in a million. I always treasured the time I got to see and visit with you. Thank you for always treasuring family and for opening your home to us. Love your cousin, Susan
