Not sure what to say?

My sincere condolences for the loss of your beloved son and brother. I believe my son was deployed with Schofield Barracks at this time. My own son was KIA in Afghanistan, 2010. It never gets easier. Love and prayers for his entire family ❤. Please reach out to me if you want to.

Not forgotten

To the family and friends of CPL Jeremy Shank, I am so sorry for your loss.

As we traveled through Missouri we saw your son's name and looked him up on google. Our prayers to you as you mourn your son. He sounds like a remarkable young man. I will remember his name.

To the family and friends of Pfc. Jeremy R. Shank:
Please accept my remembrance of Jeremy on the anniversary of his passing and know that he will never be forgotten.

Hey, Shank. It's been four years, eight months, and twenty-five days since you started guarding Heaven's streets. It still doesn't seem real. Yesterday was Memorial Day. I meant to post then, but I just didn't get to it. Sorry 'bout that. Once again, though...thanks. For everything.
All my love.

Jeremy is not forgotten, I hope it can bring a small amount of comfort to your family.

Where there us injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we...
