You were a good friend and working partner.  We had a lot of laughs when we worked together and some sad times as well Often thought about you and wondered what had happen to you when I was last in Fenton.  I moved out of state and we lost track of each other.  You were never out of my mind.  Sorry I couldn't say it to you in person.

Husband, me and the girls miss you terribly. You are always in my thoughts. Our anniversary is just around the corner. Love you.....

My brother, my Hero! Love ya Bunches Ginger

Peace be with you! May the Angels give you light!

Duke,
It was a great ride, thanks for all the wonderful memories.  You put up a good fight.  RIP

Prayers for strength and love for those still on this earth.  Peace be with you.

Duke, 
You were beyond the best partner I ever had! I've thought about you often over the past years and wondered if you ever made it to Arizona. Thank for all the laughs!!

Go easy Duke, your watch has ended. You served this country and the city with pride and dedication. Semper Fi brother.

To Our Departed Brother Duke:
You were a veteran.  You wore the uniform.  You did your duty.  You sacrificed your youth and endured the separation from loved ones.  You served your country with selfless devotion.  Now, your battles are over.  You are gone, but not forgotten, for you will always have the undying gratitude of those you served and the respect of those who served with you.  May you rest in eternal peace.
