For my life long friend Billy, you just reached out to me back in March, when my wife passed away, I hold you dearly, now my heart is heavy again, for your passing. We share a long life of journeys together, traveling through school as classmates till graduation, then connecting again, as I was finishing OCS, and you Starting, then serving together in the same unit as Platoon leaders, for your life long friendship I am honored. I know the good Lord now holds you dear to his kingdom, and one day we will meet again at his gates. Till then rest in peace. To Bill's family, past and present, I pray for you doing your time of morning, if you ever need me for anything, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely
Ed Tarpy
