Our Son Jeff getting a bravery award for trying to save a man who fell through the ice**He near lost his life trying but couldn't get him before he slipped under the ice/***Was a sad day for him as he tried so hard being big and heavy he kept going through the ice himself but he was tied off with a rope and when he could no longer fight the fight they pulled him to shore****Carolyn

A picture for you to remember. All working in rescue services throughout the world put their lives at risk for others and we have so much to thank them for their bravery.

Carolyn, This is just incredible! I bet you are proud enough to bust your buttons! Please give Jeff my thank you. Not because of his award, but for the caring, marvelous person he is: for his character. When our Ben was choking the EMTs came to save him, but it was not to be. God had plans to take our son to be with him in Heaven. I know the person, Also named Ben. who tried so hard to save him really had a hard time, feeling like he failed in some way. What he didn't realize, and I'm sure Jeff feels this too, that he just didn't do enough. But, the truth is, Ben did everything any other human could possibly do. it wasn't his fault that our Ben died, and it wasn't your son's fault that the man died. It was bigger than that, God has His own plans. I know we appreciated the EMT's efforts, that we understand how much he wanted to save him. i am so proud of your son. Love to Jeff and to you. Jan

I'm doing fair most days, even laugh sometimes. Christmas time is just so hard. One ornament is a photo of Ben, and we recorded his voice on saying "Look what I got."

I had a relative who did a lot of the deep water rescues back in the S. Carolina flooding. This type of work is a calling. I'm sure it means a great deal to the man's family that someone (a crew I'm sure) tried so hard to save their loved one. Mamas don't usually get medals, but good job, Mom.

Thank you for such a wonderful son/policeman. Thank him for his brave service. It sounds like he tried so very hard to help this man, but that Heaven needed another angel instead of his life on earth. May God bless your son for his attempts and give him extra hugs when you next see him.

Congratulations to your son Jeff. Ice is such a hard thing for people to understand the conditions. We just lost 2 people on thin ice already this winter. I don't understand how they think it can be safe when we are at least 20 degrees above normal temp this time of year. Jeff was brave to try and save a life.

Congratulations to your son Carolyn. What a magnificent effort, sorry that the man he was trying to save lost his life. What a selfless act for him to do and go into an ice filled river. No wonder you are so proud. Love Chris

It has to be a hard job to accept, that you try with all your might and still loose someone. But it also must be so fulling and rewarding when you save so many more lives. He is a handsome young man and thank him for his service to our fellow mankind.
