The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Dear Jennifer and Family
This is a fitting day to honor, admire and pay tribute to women soldiers. Mother’s Day is a day that pays tribute to the woman that is always a caretaker, courageous and a protector of her family. As a Mother hen spreads her wings to protect her chicks from death and will sacrifice her life if needed, so has Jennifer spread her golden wings to protect each American Citizen from evil and give back to each one of us another day of Freedom. We are eternally in your debt for your sacrifice. You have established your right of Motherhood and to be in the presences of the Creator of the universe.
May God bless your family.

To the family & friends of Jennifer Hartman,
Just a note to let you know that we hold you up in prayer, as we do all the fallen warriors that come from our local area. There have been so many recently. I pray that you are doing well. We heard from our son, Brandon Van Parys, just 15 hours prior to his death. Like when you heard from Jennifer, he seemed safe. Well, there is no place safe in a war zone & it is difficult as a parent to let them go. We are proud of Brandon's courage & willingness to serve his country. But his abscence has left a gaping hole in our lives. Through the grace of God, all the families of the our fallen heros will get through this. But only with time does the intensity of such of loss lessen. God Bless our sons & daughters. If you would ever like to talk, please feel free to contact me. I am just right over the Blue Mt. from you.

“Soldier”
Written to Honor the Service of Our Fallen Soldiers
Soldiers write history, we pay the price
Many miles distant, you live the life
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We hope and pray that all will find peace
In God, in the flag, in memories of valor
Gone now, our pride and courage you see
“An Army of One” our motto forever
Willing to risk all for love of our Brothers
We’re still Your Soldiers…and we showed the way
Our Lives too short, now pray for the others
Lived free died Heroes in lands far away
Deep within souls all cherished our Service
We’ll always have what some never know
Courage and Honor, our names forever
Lived life with purpose…just our time to go
We march in the Heavens with Honor and Glory
Missions accomplished we fought the Good Fight
Many years from now…we’ll tell the full story
Until that Day we will live in the Light
Our lives we laid down in a land far away
Still watching o’er you this night and by day
No need to talk…just know we are with you
There in your hearts and we hear what you pray
Yes we are your soldiers
Our lives we laid down
Still We guard o’er you
Still Duty bound
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We’ll always have what some never know
Lived life with purpose…it was our time to go

My son 2nd Lt Christopher Loudon spoke highly of Jennifer. He said she was such a warm and caring human being. He remembered her in Abu Ghraib encouraging his platoon to come and eat the extras. He was in the vicinity when Jennifer lost her life and felt her loss deeply. A month and 3 days later Christopher died when an IED exploded near his humvee. I am certain they are both in heaven cooking up something wonderful for the other angels. God Bless your family.

It was my priviledge to be invited to stand for Jenn as part of the civilian "honor guard" that stood watch and then escorted Jenn and her family to her final resting place.
Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Hartman for allowing me to do so, the honor was mine, both as an American and as a veteran.

To the family of Sgt Hartman. Hartman was my roommate while serving in Iraq, we shared some good, fun, wierd times together. She was like a sister too me, it seemed as though we could talk about anything. She always seemed to make me laugh with her outgoing energy. She got me playing basketball, and was the first one to get me to play ping pong. I miss her dearly, i have the one picture hanging up on my door as if she is still there. Your Hartman was a true hero, she was an inspiration in my life and made all the difference in the world. Thanks Hartman. I'll never forget, "I survived Iraq without becoming a nightcrawler" I will wear it in your memory. Miss ya roomie. God Bless, your family is in my prayers always.

To the Hartman Family,
Your Daughter/Sister was my driver, "Eliminator 7 Delta". A title and position that she wore with great pride. She was a special person with limitless potential. I am truly humbled, proud and honored to have known your daughter and to have served with her.
I would like to address the following to my driver: Eliminator 7 Delta, thank you for being the outstanding Soldier and NCO that you were. You will always be the orignal Heavy Hitter. I watched you develop from a young Soldier to a junior Non-Commissioned Officer with great ease. When you made Sergeant, I told you that you would do great as a leader and that your Soldiers would have no hesitation what so ever in following your lead. I recall our last conversation. You said to me, " First Sergeant, I remember what you told me when I became an NCO. You said for me to be hard but fair when it came to leading my Soldiers. and you also told me that when you're in charge, be in charge." Well, First Sergeant "I'm in charge and I am making things happen". 7 Delta, I will hold dearly our last conversation and the multitude of missions that we (Mossburg "7 Golf", you and I) went on. You are fearless and a true warrior. I will tell all who ask about you; that my first driver, was a one of a kind person and a true "Heavy Hitter". God Bless you 7 Delta, you will be missed but never forgottened.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I found Jennifer Hartman's name while searching a list to make sure my brother's name wasn't listed as I haven't heard from him lately...she must have been someone very special for God to have put her on my heart. Again, I am sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the Family of Sgt. Jennifer Hartman: There are no words that can heal the hurt. I lost my nephew in Taji, Iraq the same day that Jennifer passed. God bless our Angels and all the other Angels that they are with. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To the family of SGT. Jennifer Hartman,
You don't know me but I’m the mother of a soldier that served with your Jennifer at the substation. I can not begin to tell you how sorry I was to hear of your loss. All of us who have loved ones serving in the military live in fear of getting the same terrible news. My heart goes out to you.
While I never had the chance to meet your Jennifer, please allow me to share a little incident of how she touched my life through a small act of kindness. September 13th was my son's 25th birthday. I had been trying to reach him all day to wish him a happy birthday, but phone reception was really poor and neither his wife nor I could get through to him. When I finally did reach him just a few minutes before midnight (their time), he told me the highlight of his day was that the cook (Jennifer) had baked him a pumpkin pie for his birthday. He said she couldn’t come up with the ingredients for a cake, but was able to make him a birthday pie. “Pretty cool… Nice of her” is what he said when he told me what she had done.
While I had never met Jennifer, she earned herself a spot my heart that day. I was so sorry when I heard she had passed away. Her good spirit helped make things a little better and brighter, not only for my son, but from what I hear, for others that were there as well. She continues to be greatly missed.
Again, I would like to thank you for giving us the fine and honorable woman who was SGT. Jennifer M. Hartman. I hope you find peace and comfort in knowing you did an outstanding job raising such a wonderful daughter, a daughter who has touched so many and served our country so honorably. God Bless.

Dear Hartman Family, Please know that we are praying for you in the midst of your pain. We didn't know Jennifer personally but from the different entries posted here she seemed to be a very special young lady. Your loss was sudden and the pain and sadness will continue but the sweet memories you have of Jennifer will carry you through the most difficult times. Humble though it may be, please accept our grateful thanks for her ultimate sacrifice. The Greg Eshbach family
