Maybe I'm the only person who comes to see this site I made for you. But I'm fine with that. I can't expect anyone or everyone to share my feelings. I think of you everyday, Son. I miss you with all my heart. I wish you were still here with us. You always had a special way of making us feel important and loved. It's been over 7 years and I still feel the same pain that I felt on that horrible night, we found out that you were gone. I'll always love you so much. Forever & Ever, Mom

Jared was more than an amazing person, he was one of the best people I've ever met. When we met at Job Corps, I was the "new" girl, and I had a lot of people picking on me, and being horrible to me. Jared was right there, even though I didn't know him, he came over and helped me out. He carried me on his back to the pool hall, and we played pool. After that, we hung out everyday. Ate lunch in the cafeteria together. He was such a great guy. I miss him still, so much. After Job Corps we stayed in touch, and talked all the time. I still have messages from him that I can't delete. He talked about how much his nephew meant to him. I really miss him... soo much, and wish I could have got to see him one more time and give him a huge hug. He gave the best bear hugs.... I love you Jared, thank you for always having my back.... ♥ I will never, ever forget you.

Tani...My heart breaks for you in the loss of your beautiful son and I feel your pain as, I too, have lost mine. It looks like Jared was a handsome young man and a free spirit who enjoyed his life and loved those who were a part of it. I know that I find comfort in the memories and photographs and I hope you do as well. This website is a wonderful tribute to Jared and I'm sure he is so proud of you for creating it and for all you do to keep his memory alive. I also would like to thank you for accepting me into the Searchlight Moms. It really is a special group of gals who are bonded by such terrible losses. Keep smiling and know that you are not alone.
