When our son Mark told us about losing his buddy and fellow Airman during his last deployment, my heart went out to all involved, but especially to his 9 year old daughter. Not knowing what else to do, I made a quilt for her! Mark sent me some of his uniforms and helped me with choosing the quilt design. Mark contacted Jordan (Tony's daughter) to find our what colors she would like in the quilt. I expected typical pre-teen colors, but she selected red, white and blue. So, I went with dark red, navy blue and white (the white fabric glows in the dark as an added bonus).

The quilt went in the mail yesterday! There are 6 photos below (I hope I can get them to post) if you want to see how it turned out. I hope it is something that will bring at least a tiny bit of comfort to Jordan.

Beautiful! You are one special lady!

You are a very thoughtful and kind person (((HUGS)))
This little gal will treasure this quilt for always :D:D:D

This brings tears to my eyes. I bet this quilt will bring more comfort to the fallen hero's daughter than you will ever know. Bless you for your generosity and creativity.

That's beautiful. What a wonderful thing you've done in his memory. I know his family will cherish it.

What a thoughtful thing you did. His daughter will treasure it!

That is awesome. A wonderful treasure that his daughter will have forever.

This is the most wonderful gift! I love the inclusion of elements of his uniform. She has a brave daddy. I'm sure she will treasure this always.

What a marvelous gift for her! She will treasure it always!

That's a nice way to memorialize a person's service to our country. Great job.
