The last couple of weeks have been emotionally crushing, yet at the same time, overwhelming from the response, and love and support we have received. Our son Jaguar’s passing has brought us deep sorrow, while simultaneously bringing great honor through his selfless sacrifice. Though nothing can lessen the pain of losing our son, to know that others were there to share in our grief helped us take this minute by minute, hour by hour, and day by day. We are thankful for the prayers, contributions, gifts, recognitions, and/or tributes that have poured in from our family and friends, the San Antonio community, the State of Texas, and the nation.
We are at a loss for words on how to express our gratitude for how Jag has been honored and how he will continue to be honored through upcoming ceremonies. We would like to thank POTUS, VPOTUS, distinguished dignitaries, the U.S. Army, 7th Special Forces Group, the Texas House of Representatives, the San Antonio City Council, the City of Crestview, Florida, and the Governor of North Carolina. There are also numerous foundations, groups, businesses, churches and individuals that have assisted us through this difficult and heartbreaking journey. It would have been impossible for us to shoulder the various phases of Jaguar’s military interment without their guidance and/or support.Thank you to our social media friends for your condolences and for comments you left about Jag. Please know they mean a lot to us even though we couldn’t always respond. Our plans are to print as many of your testimonials as we can for a scrapbook we are making for our grandchildren.
We are especially grateful to all those who have prayed for us. Whether you whispered our name, shed a tear for us, or interceded on our behalf, we sincerely thank you. Prayer is, undoubtedly, the most powerful support that we desperately needed for this difficult time in our life. Only prayer can comfort our broken heart and only our Lord Christ Jesus can cradle our anguished souls.
