Dear Evelyn and Family, It was so many years ago that we all served together back in the 60’s and it was a great reunion we had visiting you both and our trip to D.C. and The Wall. I still have the photos and have shared them with other Marines that knew “Tex” over the years. Just want to say that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers since hearing this news. If you are ever up in the Va. Beach VA area remember you have USMC friends here. Dan and Edda Laino
Praying for your family.
