Will,
Thank you for touching my family's life. You were a wonderful young man and I hope my boys grow up to be as wonderful as you. Thank you for always keeping the kids entertained when you came over to watch the games. You also made my wife very happy when she was able to cook for even if she did have to leave the onions out. You will be greatly missed by the Lengeman family and the football games on Sunday will never be the same.
Rest in peace.

May God bless this family now and always. You are in my prayers.

Tears are words the heart cannot express. My heart weeps for you, for your family and friends, your fellow soldiers, and the wonderful medics who tried to save you. I have typed these words so many times, and it breaks my heart every time.

The Lord bless you, and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine on you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace."' Numbers 6:22-27

I send my sincere condolences to PFC's Kerchief's family. I just lost my nephew Brandon M Craig and so I know it is a terrible time. I don;t think my fanily will ever be the same but reading these messages really helped me. There is a poem by Khalil Gibran "The Beauty of Death" in Poetseers that made me feel a bit better. Also I felt Brandon was with God and at peace. My thoughts and prayers to his family.
