Dear Shilling Family,
My thought and prayers are with you all in your time of grief. Jared was one of the nicest people I have ever met. He was a great friend to my girls (Carmen & Lacey Cole) and he was always a gentleman. I would be so proud to have had a son like Jared.

Anne and family, I was very sad to read of your loss in our paper. When things settle down and you are ready please get a hold of me, I have left my email address open so you can contact me. It has been too long since we have talked Anne. I also have some resources for parent's who are grieving. Be proud of who Jared is, and say his name out loud when you miss him. Keep him close to you always. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and the rest of the family at this most difficult time.
All my love,
Sharon
