Memorial website in the memory of your loved one
This memorial website was created in the memory of my son, Arnold Duplantier II who was born in California on June 03, 1979 and was killed serving his country on June 21, 2005 at the age of 26.  A valiant soldier, a loyal friend, a loving husband, father and son.  Arnold's death leaves a hole in so many hearts. I have created this website, not only for myself, but for his wife (my daughter) Tanya, his daughter Isabel, his father Arnold Sr., brothers Josh and Chris, his very dear friends Rob and Mario and the many relatives and friends that are struggling with this tragic loss.
Every day, I look at my grandaughter and see the legacy he has left behind.  I want her to remember always, what a special man he was and how proud I will always be that he called me "Mom", even though I did not physically birth him.

To the living I am gone
To the sorrowful I will never return
To the angry I was cheated
But to the happy I am at peace

And to the faithful I have never left
I can not speak but I can listen
I can not be seen but I can be heard

So as you stand upon the shore
Gazing at the beautiful sea
Remember me

As you look in awe at a mighty forest
And its grand majesty
Remember me

Remember me in your heart
In your thoughts
And your memories of the times we loved
The times we cried
The battle I fought
And the times we laughed
For if you always think of me
I will have never gone.
