There is
... a time to laugh and a time to cry
... a time to rejoice and a time to mourn
... a time to live and a time to die
We are laughing and crying and rejoicing and mourning. Some moments the sorrow seems as if though it is unbearable but God is gracious and merciful. We know that He is holding us up and helping us face each day.
A memorial was held last week for our son in Lousiana ... some 200 attended. Many news stations have done pieces on Dustin and some articles have been written.
To view the Lousiana news story go to:

On Saturday, January 20th, we celebrated with many more, the life of our son,
Corporal Dustin Lee Kendall
He was 21 years old and a blessing to us all.
We will bury him in Arlington National Cemetary on Wednesday, @ 1 p.m., among many other men who have died fighting for the freedoms we all enjoy.
Please continue to pray for us as we mourn the death of our son and rejoice for the life we shared with him.
A website called "Remembrance" is set up in honor of those men who have died in service to our country. If you would like to leave a comment in his guestbook, please go to
