In Memory




Earlier this week we found out that a very good friend of Bob's, Brent Williams, was aboard an Air Force B-52 that crashed off the coast of Guam. It was later confirmed that Brent and five other Airmen lost their lives in the crash. http://www.airforcetimes.com/news/2008/07/airforce_b52_writethru_072308w/

Brent was 37 years old, a single father who leaves behind two children ages 10 & 13. Bob met Brent in college, where both were going through OU's ROTC program. They quickly became great friends. When we were married Bob asked Brent to stand beside him as his best man.

There is something about friends that you grew up with....you could go months or years without seeing each other but then when you do get together it is like you were never apart. I believe Bob and Brent had that type of friendship. The experiences they shared helped shape the men they would become.

Brent will certainly be missed by many.

Please keep Brent's families and the other five Airmen who died in your thoughts and prayers.
