I'll never forget the time you spent with our family, I'm so glad Jared brought you home to NY to meet us. When he asked if he could bring an Army buddy home, we never thought you would forever have an impact on our lives. And when we kissed you goodbye we hoped it wouldn't be the last time we saw you, but it was. The thought of you two going to Iraq killed us. The day we learned of your death, was one of the hardest days of my life. You'll forever be in our hearts!! "Mom" Petteys
