THE WALL OF FACES

Layne, I remember you well... You and your brother Fella (Bob) were the best examples A young kid cold have growing up... I was a month shy of 14 when things changed on Jane Dr. forever... We went from "Leave it to Beaver" to a stark reality the day you made the ultimate sacrifice... Prior to that, the Vietnam War was something that was happening on the nightly news, thousands of miles away, a dark cloud that everyone discussed and no one had the answer for... As my next door neighbor and a childhood hero, you brought reality in the form of your great sacrifice and the ensuing grieving home to Jane Dr. and things were never the same after that... I want to take this chance to personally thank you for all you did for our country and that you are still thought of and discussed when the Marsh kids talk about old times and growing up on Jane Dr... I keep getting pictures of you and Fella cuttin' up while washing and doting over your cars, getting them ready for your weekend dates... Good Memories!!

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from your sister Peggy and brother Bob are touching and attest to the anguish experienced by so many who lost loved ones in this war. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever…..

I was a little boy when the neighborhood learned of your passing. It was 3 months before my father died of cancer. The old Jane drive neighbors still speak of you often. Our lives have gone on 50 plus years now, but you arent forgotten.

It's been a long time since... but I think of you everyday, our childhood and all the good times we shared. Memories are not lost but only grow. You earned the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart at a higher cost, but we are grateful for your sacrifice. Some gave all, All gave some. Love you Layne, your brother, Bob Connevey
