Eugenia, I cannot find the words because there are no words. I am sorry for your loss and I am giving you silent hugs. I am also praying for you and your family. I have often wondered if you still have the tree you kept decorated on your desk and I can see you changing it with the seasons. May your tree still decorate your heart and life.

My deepest condolences to the family of Theo. I served with him on the Carl Vinson, and have nothing but fond memories. Theo was one of those guys that always had a positive attitude and was well liked by everyone. He will be missed.

Theo always brought smiles to my face. In Kindergarten, he'd refer to my "belly laugh" that he would remind me of all through our adult years. I'm shocked to hear of his passing. So young are we. It makes every single moment we live as precious as can be. Eugenia, I'm so very sorry. Your whole family is in my prayers.

Eugenia.... I am sorry to hear of the passing of your son. I remember you talking about Teddy as well as our other boys when we worked together, I can not imagine the grief a parent feels during the loss of one of their children. However, I will pray that family and friends may surround you with their love and comfort in the days to come.

Your son was the nicest fella with the warmest smile. Always in a good mood and so outgoing, so happy. I honestly did not know his name but always enjoyed talking to him and catching up when seeing him at my weekly fill-ups at Casey's. I just saw him and he had me giggling as I walked out the door.....a good, good man, taken too soon. My heartfelt condolences to his family on this sudden loss.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Theo's passing. We had just worked a shift at Casey's Tuesday night. I'll miss his sense of humor and great attention to detail at work. Every time I make a pepperoni pizza I'll remember it being his favorite, always under the cheese.
