I can't tell you what sadness washed over me as I watched the news the night your son was killed. It breaks my heart to see another promising young man with a bright future filled with hopes and dreams be taken from us. Please know that I and my family understand your pain as we have so recently suffered it ourselves when my brother died in the line of duty last month. Over the next few days and weeks I hope that you will take the opportunity to read over the messages left here for you as I promise that in time they will bring you great solace. May God bless your family as you grieve and know that my family will always remember your son's great sacrifice.
