What an immense loss, but what joy in that his death was so honorable and heroic. From all the postings, Dimitri apparently had a wonderful impact on many lives. His life was well lived.<br /> His new home in heaven with Our Lord has many splendid people there--Mary Susan, Papa Fil, the Els', Ali, etc!<br /> The family (me, Mama, Stephen, Sherry, Noonie, Nina, Mary and our families)is gathering this Sunday to have a private memorial Mass for Dimtri and Mary Susan.

Dmitri was just a wonderful boy to know and a great friend of our kids'. I have had the honor to work with groups of West Point cadets the last two years, and they are the finest of the finest we have in America; we did not know Dmitri was there but it does not surprise me. We cannot begin to understand the pain that you all are feeling, yet know that his sacrafice was made so the rest of us can be more free from the fear and tyranny that is unfortunately exported from that part of the world.
