Joe,

Thank you. You are my brother. I cannot tell you how much love and respect runs through me when I think of you. There are reminders of you in everything that I love. My son, my wife, my friends. That fact that you are no longer here is something that I do not believe that I will e...

Thank you to my Great Uncle Francis! I wish we could have met, I know we would have a pair, from what grandma always told me. She said that we had the same sense of humor. Thank you for your gift to live in a country as wonderful as America! I will never let your name fade in our family!

It's hard to know where to start when I want to share with people stories about my brother Josh. He had one of those larger-then-life personalities. He was so energetic, always on the move.

To my son who wanted to do something special with his life and wasn't afraid to die. God Bless you and keep you.....until we meet again!

Cliff was an amazing person who loved to make you laugh! I'll never forget all those nights in Alaska as our families sat outside in the summer grilling out while the kids played.

Sgt. Evan S. Parker 2018 Memorial Day Tribute

Love you Blakey. Miss you more and more each day. Still in disbelief that this is happening. I think about the fact that I'll never get to see you again and it breaks my heart. Sometimes I think about it and I can't stop crying. You were one of the few people that could cheer me up no matter what...
