THE WALL OF FACES

Some may think you are forgotten
Though on earth you are no more
But in our memory you are with us
As you always were before….

I too remember that sad day in Mrs. Tilton's 3rd grade at the High Mountain Road School in Franklin Lakes in 1967. Don was our pen pal. Mrs. Tilton read a letter from an Army chaplain saying "Don is with the angels." (Or something along those lines.)

Every thought of our youth in Lavallette now and forever will include your smiling face Don. God bless you!

We had 8 children in the family & we had a great childhood in Lavallette. When Don was brought home we could not except his death even after seeing his body in the coffin. We all struggled & cried for weeks, our parents divorced after 34 years of marriage but we never heard them argue but my Mom was never the same after Don died. I just wanted to share some of our pain. Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts.

Dear PFC Donald Skinner, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Winter will end soon, and Lent has begun. Time moves quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.
