Bill, it is amazing the way the people touch each other. I was blessed to escort a friend to your grave site in Arlington. We were not there 15 min and we were greeted by your mother. It was nothing short of a miracle to be there at the same time that she was visiting. Then during a Patriot Guard flag line at the Bourne cemetery, the man next to me commented that Arlington was a nicer place and asked if I had ever been there. I told him that I had the pleasure of visiting your grave site with a friend. He then introduced himself as your uncle. This is a small world and you have touched so many. God bless.
