Thanks you all. I have relayed the condolences to Jessica.
Way to step up & honor your friend & fellow Marine Jessica.
I couldn't have held it together performing such a heartwrenching task.
You're a credit to the Marine Corps & our country.
Thank you.

Mayfield, I read your post to Jessica and she wanted me to tell you it was the hardest thing she has ever done. She said her insides were twisted into knots and she struggled not to break down during the ceremony. She manage to only allow tears to fall, but afterward she was a mess. Snot, tears and weeping. But, she said it brought a certain closure she probably would have never had if she wasn't such a integral part of the burial. She hopes to never do it again, obviously. She also wanted me to relay her thanks to you and all of the Yard.
