Old Friend,

One of the most remarkable things about being a West Pointer is that
we are always connected.

Our memories, our accomplishments, our aspirations, our strengths,
and our shortcomings are all one.

In the end, we are all vital threads in that timeless fabric we call
the Long Grey Line.

Nothing changes that.

You have crossed into a time which we are all destined for.
But your time here has touched us all in ways we will never forget.

Your smile, your affection, your selflessness, your honor, and your
dreams remain with us.

You are sincerely missed ... but never forgotten.

Thanks for being a true and timeless friend.
