The battle has ended

On Tuesday, my husband told us "Thursday's the day."  At just 10 minutes after midnight today (Friday), he took his last breath.  I was with him and held him in my arms.

Here he is doing what he loved, during the Vietnam War.  He will be missed by many.


Thank you for all your prayers during this final battle.
