Hello #1 Son,
This is a new year 2008. You were miss at the dinner table on Christmas. I have so many wonderful pictures of you, and some of them brought joy to my heart. I sat and played a video of your last days in Iraq. Freeman you were a wonderful son, who never gave me trouble. You were truly a blessed young man, who loved the Lord and his family. Today I walked into the Living room and looked at your picture, and I said "THANK YOU Freeman". I will always love you, from MOM!
