  • The last couple of weeks have been a precious time of sharing tears, laughter and total chaos with our 5 kids, 3 son-in-laws, 8 grandbabies and one very hyperactive puppy. While in the eastern part of the States, we took a few days to head up to Arlington National Cemetery to visit Dustin's grave site. Though a difficult time for us, we were blessed to be hosted by our special friends, the Popes, while in the DC area. Unfortunately, we missed some of you we had hoped to see when we traveled up that way.

    Said 'good-bye' this morning to our family ... now we are headed to our new home in Granbury. Took a little detour while in North Carolina today and enjoyed a few hours at the "Biltmore Estate" ( http://biltmore.com ), the largest home (but more like a castle) in the United States. That was a nice break from our many hours in the car. We should arrive in Texas sometime this weekend and Brandi officially starts his new position at the Granbury church on Monday morning.

    We are still trying to work out all the 'living in the country' challenges of getting hooked up on the internet so we still may be offline for a bit. Just wanted everyone to know that you aren't forgotten and that we'll do our best to check our email as often as possible. Keep writing ... will let you know when we are up and running.

    Missing you all in Estonia ... love you bunches!

  • Of a soldier’s silhouette
    From sea to shinning sea
    One who bleeds courage, and integrity
    All at once the chorus begins to sing
    Follow me beyond the sea
    Follow me to eternity

  • To Dustin:

    Although I Never Met You While You Were Alive,  You Came To Me Shortly After Your Death, I Felt Your Spirit With Me The Night They Announced That You Died. I Want You To Know That I Will Never Forget You And That You Are In My Nightly Prayers. I Am So Proud That I Got To Visit You At Arlington, I Wanted To Just Sit There Forever But We All Know That On This Earth A Blessing Has Its Expiration Date, And Mine Expired. But I Will Come Back To See You My Hero. I Will Bring Some More Skittles For You! -Watch Over Me DK.

    Save A Spot For Me In Heaven My Friend! I Can't Wait Until The "Perfect Day".

    God Bless You Dustin Lee!
