First it was Josh Guimond who grew up with us right across the street and disappeared without a trace from St. John's University.
Now this week Bart Jr's best friend since kindergarten Sgt. Chad Allen was killed by a roadside bomb.
We feel the great loss as much the kids and are all dealing together.
We have always felt sadness for ALL the war losses and the families affected by them and now it has hit close to home.

Read about Chad at STARTRIBUNE.COM

Thank you for your thoughts and support.

I am sure you and your kids are very comforting to both of these families. Take strength from that. Hang in there.

Thank you for your care and concern.

The funeral is this weekend in Wisconsin.

This will take a long,long time to heal.

Bart if you took offense to my previous post I’m terribly sorry, I was just frustrated, and it was not meant to be any statement on my part, just total frustration that someone so young could be taken, again pure frustration on my part, so sorry.:'(
