Dearest Navy Moms,
I am grateful for all of the support that everyone has shown during my time of loss and grief. I have been catching up at work so I have not been here to keep up.
I am so glad that your sailors from the USS Boxer are returning home. As you speak with them please let them know that I am proud of them and that I pray that they will obey the safety rules of the ship and move in pairs while they are deployed.

I want to express my feelings but there is so much going on right now and I want to honor my son when my mind is a bit clearer. My son, Matthew James Bergman, will forever be the beat of my heart and my reason to believe in everything that is good and honorable. I hope everyone will bear with me as we endure his loss and I appreciate everyone who is offering support in this great time of need.
God Bless,
Melody Paxton

Melody, I was on your page and wanted to let you know that we are thinking of you always.
Hi, Just wanted to let you know that you are still in our thoughts and prayers. I hope that time is finding a way to ease some of your pain. May the lord keep you and you family forever in his arms.
I just wanted to let you know that I still think of Matthew. Doing the memory cards and looking at his photos made me feel like I knew him just a little. I hope you are doing OK. Please know that there are many of us here for you if you need us. I lost my best friend from high school last week. I feel cheated, especially since we were not able to connect after finding each other on FB. I like to think that my friend and Matthew are both reaching out across the space to let us know that they are OK too.
Regards, BQB.
Thinking of you and wishiing you peace during these times of sorrow.
Please let me know how you are doing? I hope that god has eased some of your pain.
