    I can't say much more than I already have. This is a rough time of year. My ex and I are struggling with the loss of his son. Thanksgiving was difficult, and now with Christmas coming up, I'm struggling to get motivated to even decorate. It's a rough time of year for anyone who's lost someone they love. I try to keep everyone I know with a recent loss in prayer during the holidays.

    It's hard to put a like on something I dislike so much. So much life left to live to have it taken away..........
    God Bless.......Bobby

    Ken I am so sorry to hear this an absolute tragedy and travesty to lose a child of any age.

    God bless you and your family.

    My thoughts are with you xx

    This is terrible news and be rest assured my prayer goes out to both you and your wife. The circumstance of her death is however very strange, things like this have happened in the army more than you may realize and the answers always remain the same "Inconclusive" "Unknown"... Naturally causes? How does a fit woman in the peak of her career die of natural causes? I am truly ashamed of our military and the obvious BS that they do, this is the reason why i left the army and anything that hard to do with the United States law enforcement or national defense. I am sorry that this calamity has to befall your family my friend and if i were you, i would not take a single word they say at face value, do your own investigation, hire a private investigator or speak with someone in the army who is sympathetic to your situation and you may quickly learn some disturbing stuff.

    God Speed my friend.

    She did have high blood pressure, and she wasn't taking her medications, and it was also a very hot day and she had been drinking, so the causes of her death are not really so mysterious.

    We are in Arlington, Virginia. We come here each July, on the anniversary of Tania's death, and also on her birthday. The grandchildren's father drives them down from Baltimore as well. We visit the grave at Arlington Cemetery, and then do some tourist stuff in Washington DC. The kids are staying with us tonight. Tomorrow morning, we'll be taking the kids to the Spy Museum, and their dad will pick them up in the late afternoon. It's only a 45-minute drive for him if traffic is reasonable.

    She wears some good medals. Especially note the paratrooper wings and the Third Division patch, an outfit of much achievement I once served with in Korea. She stands tall, proud, representing the best the country has to offer.. I'm sorry, Ken.

    I say with respect the Army has had much experience yet they do so with precision, dignity and respect. They are good at what they do. My condolences, Ken.
