Comment from Dwight Michael Logan, class of 2017

“A True Friend Sticks Closer Than A Brother.” Proverbs 18:24. You were one of my truest friends and my heart hurts beyond comprehension. I will always remember the memories, risks we took, and all the hilarious stories we could tell from our time at LW and our long yearly trips together. Whether I was having a bad day or I was too happy, you were always there to make me laugh or make me even more mad. You had more potential than I could dream of having, especially at 19 with a heart greater than most. You will forever be missed and never forgotten. Thank you Eden.. for everything.

Rest In Peace PFC D. Eden 82nd Airborne Artillery Combat Medic.
