Condolence: Derek and Family, It's the little things, the small, everyday occurrences that you'll remember. The laughs, the stories, the smiles. And even though it seems like you can never recover from your loss, it is these very memories that will help push the pain away and bring back the smiles. You are in my prayers, Mandi

Condolence: I met Al when I would have to take mail from Corey Oil to the Post Office. He was the nicest guy and once we realized that I was from PAX River we had something in common! His son was stationed there, we joked about my sister being single and that the two should hook up! He was so excited about his sons new car quite a while ago. I ran into Al at the hospital a couple months ago and he told me what was happening. I am so sorry and I offer my condolences to his family!He was a connection home for me every time we spoke! He was on my mind the past week and I know why now. Stay strong and when home I will be sure to go visit as it looks like something is being done at the National Cemetery.
