Still remember this day after 44 years
Another year has past. Today marks 44 years since the time we last spoke. I think about you often and reflect on what could have been. The past couple years I have had an wonderful relationship with you daughter and sister. You would have been proud of the daughter and her husband that cherish you memory. I am proud to have known you and served with you. Recon, 5th Infantry, Vietnam and Edmond Balance are things I will never forget.

Never forgotten
You are lucky, Edmond Tello Ballance, to have a wonderful family and incredible friends. They will not let your memory fade. Many people will visit you here and will come to know you and your sacrifice. I grew up in Bangkok, Thailand in the 50's so Vietnam was not so foreign to me. My heart breaks for all of those lost in such a far away place that, at the time, was so unknown to many in the U.S. May you Rest In Peace.

Still thinking of you after 43 yers
Only knew you a short time but the impact you have had on my life has lasted (43 years now). I often wonder how a person could be known for such a short time and still be thought of often. It has to be because of you that gift you had for caring and sharing with others. I will never forget you and hope that during my time I have had the same influence on someone as you did to me.
Never had a chance to tell you how I really felt about you but hope during our time together you were able to know.
