My thoughts and supportive prayers are with you Jennifer. Nothing-No-THING can separate your son or you from the Love of God and that Life which is one round of harmonious being.Your son continues to be blessed and to be a blessing. A friend of mine once likened passing- on to a ship that you see sail off and then decline beyond the horizon-still in existence, but in our view no longer.
Much, much love to you precious one!

Words cannot express our deepest sympathy at this time. Michael spent many weekends with us while he was stationed at Ft. Hood. We consider him to be one of our own kids! We have so many fond memories of those times! My favorite is the manner in which he would wake us in the morning. He would sing at the top of his lungs... "Rise and Shine and give God the glory, glory.....! With that said, it is our hope that we will all see Michael again in heaven! What a reunion that will be !

Jennifer and family,
Thank you for your son and the service he gave to our country. He is a Hero and even though he was not still in Iraq, he still gave all. This is a very hard time, and we are praying for comfort for you and your family.

Mikey, it's difficult and sad to say goodbye to someone as full of life as you. I'll miss the wonderfully funny saracasm, the never timid political opinions, and the tremendous drive you always had. You and your family are in my prayers. I miss you, buddy. Rest in peace.

I owe my freedom and opportunity to raise my children in a wonderfully proud country, to your son and others like him. His sacrafice while there, and after coming home, was selfless and deserves praise and thanks. I did not know your son, but I mourn for you and your family. God bless him and our great nation.
