A Letter To Timothy

Dearest Timothy, It took twenty years to face your folks between grateful tears So sad to say your your son died saving mine. Hard? indeed. I finally have, however. Hard for both your father and me Though my load is somewhat lighter now. I love and miss you all "Charlie squad" Doc, I will always live with a sense of guilt for what you gave that day in 68. You'll live forever in my heart- Never in a damp dark grave. I love you brother even in death. Yours, Allen "There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." (Jesus) John 15:13

This is very touching. I love the scripture added at the bottom as well. Is this a true story?

Allen, there are no words to express how grateful I feel to you as I read this poem, and grateful to your brothers too.
