I was heartbroken to hear about Jared. We lost touch after high school, but saw his picture among the classmates we lost during our 20 year reunion. I am so sorry for loss. He was one of the people I was looking forward to talking to that night. I know this has been a long time and I'm sorry to just be hearing this terrible news. He was a wonderful person.

We have a website at www.vmqp.com if you get a chance to see the quilts. We have honored 247 Virginia Gold Star Families with quilts as of this date. Please contact me via email ([email protected]) or phone at 804-397-5375 and I will get the information from you so we can send you a Memorial Quilt in honor of Hero.

I served with Jarod at NSWG-3 and he was the the most outgoing and funniest person I had ever met. He was also my neighbor for a while so we became great friends. I see his picture in our hallway at work everyday and he reminds me of what life is all about! He was an amazing person and I think about him all the time. My thoughts and prayers are with his family this Memorial Day weekend!

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also to let the Day Family know that we recently sent Care Packages to American troops in the war zones. Each box carried a dedication sheet that includes the name, service information and photo of your loved one. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you strong.
Sincerely,

I had the pleasure of serving with Jared back in 2009 when we attended Airborne School together. He was a great mentor, and an amazing friend. There were many a night where we would sit up and talk about life, and he would always say that he could see great potential in me. I miss him every single day, and I continue to live each and every day for him. He may not have realized what an impact he had on me, but he made me want to be a better person, simply because how amazing of a person he was. My prayers have been with your family since the day that I found out. We will meet again buddy. Miss you a lot.

Dear Day family, I walk by your home almost daily and I see that gold star in your front window. I just want you to know that I think of your loss and sacrifice, and I know that you raised a good son who served his country with honor. He is a "Hero" in my eyes. God Bless your family and all our men and women who serve.

To jared's family, I am so very sorry for your loss. I am happy I had the privilege of spending what little time I had with you guys and Jared. He is one of the best men I know and best friend I have ever had. If you guys need anything, please don't hesitate to call. I hope it gets easier for you, just know he's in a better place even though he has been taken from us too early, he was loved so very much by many people. I know it doesn't make things any better, but I am very sorry.

Just know that you are missed terribly and very loved.

Dear Keno and family,
My heart goes out to you and the rest of your family. I have shed many tears for you, Keno, Mother to Mother. I cannot count the times that you would speak so proudly of Jared when I would come to the credit union. My "baby", Christopher is serving in Iraq, so I understand the proud feeling of having a son deployed.
May the Lord continue to watch over you and give comfort.
My prayers are with you Keno,

My utmost sympathy and condolences to Jared's family Sam, Keno and Marie. I did not have the honor of meeting Jared, but got to know of him through my daughter's stories. They remained good friends and spoke quite often, upto the day of the accident. He was very generous and kindhearted. We drove from Arizona to attend his memorial services at Lake Hills and Redwood Mortuary and to pay respect to a fallen hero and beloved friend. Thank you Jared for your service and sacrifice. Words cannot bring back Jared, but I hope and pray that you find Peace and Comfort in God's Everlasting Love and know that Jared is in a safe place.

Prayer Shawls 4 Fallen Soldiers ([email protected]) is an organization with groups throughout the country who strive to send handmade prayer shawls and/ or lap robes to families who have lost a loved one in service to our country. Members of Trindle Spring Lutheran Church in Mechanicsburg, PA would like to honor your son’s sacrifice and memory by sending our prayers and comfort through a shawl which we will mail to you. If you are interested, please contact me at [email protected] with the names and addresses and what they would like to receive. We will send them as soon as possible. Also, if you know of any other families who are grieving the loss of a loved one who died serving our country, please pass along my e-mail address, as our organization can no longer get family contacts through the military. May God bless you and comfort you in the days ahead. Sincerely, Lynne
