From the Department of Massachusetts Marine Corps League:<br><br>Please accept our deepest regrets and condolences on the passing of former Marine Thomas John Garlin.<br>There is a poem written by a Marine in the Korean War.<br>It goes like this,<br><br>Do not stand by my grave and weep <br> I am not there; I do not sleep. <br> When you awaken in the morning's hush, <br> I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds circling in flight. <br> Do not stand by my grave and cry ... <br> I am not there. I did not die.<br> I am a Marine now and always<br> protecting and serving our<br> Supreme Father into infinity.<br> <br>Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.<br> <br> Semper-Fi<br>George Doc Fregeau<br>500 Merriam Avenue<br>Leominster, MA 01453<br>Marine Corps League <br>Department of Massachusetts<br>Chaplain<br>
