Hello,

We realize that we are very late to express our deepest condolences, but we wanted to let you and your family and friends know that we have made a small donation to the EB Research John Dilgen Plunge for Elodie in the name of Janelle Franshawn King US Army Private.

We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals across the American youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.

Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

Janelle,

I think about you all the time. I remember you just like it was yesterday, it feels unreal that you're no longer with us. Thanks for running with me when I wanted to give up in boot camp, I'd always admired your physical strength and I feel like you were always giving that to the people who needed it the most. What a special legacy to have, nearly 8 years later.

Rest easy

Hey Baby Girl,
Damn its so hard to believe you're not here. As soon as we reached Baghdad you were the first person I thought of. Last night I was looking at some of our pictures from that night in the Barracks in AIT. You with your pink wig...lol I miss your laugh and all the crazy things you did. I miss our talks and your crazy late night adventures... Most of all I miss not having you here... You will be in my heart and mind forever.

Janelle, soon it will be a year that you will have left God's earth for higher ground. The death of a child is something you never get over so please let your parents know that you are now ok. God has a way of giving us signs when we're still and I pray that God has allowed those signs to come to your parents and family. As a Gold Star Mother I know the pain of the death of a child. I also know that it's not the death we remember but the life you lived and loved. May that life be celebrated and remembered forever.

Your parents aren't alone and there are many who are there for them. If they ever want to talk to others who have gone through the death of a child or loved one in active duty please do contact me.

May God continue to provide His love and comfort to your family and friends.

With the deepest regret, I have just learned of the death of Private Janelle F. King. As a Vietnam Veteran and the State Chaplain of the Georgia Society, Sons Of The American Revolution, I speak for our President, Terry Manning and the more than 1,400 SAR members around the State of Georgia in humbly expressing the condolences of a grateful Society. Wrapped in the integrity of service to our nation and the inestimable values of duty, honor and country, your American hero stood on a wall of freedom for us all. This precious life, lived and lost in love of America, epitomized every attribute of patriotism the Sons Of The American Revolution hold dear. And, as Americans, we could never repay the debt we owe ..!! Nor the debt we owe you… the family of one of America's best ...!!!

Dearest Janelle,

Although I never had the pleasure and honor of meeting you, you will forever be in my prayers. It is brave women like you who become the heroes for my grand-daughter and her young friends. You served your country well and above all, you have helped to restore safety and peace to women and children abroad. God will surely have a hero's role for you in heaven. May your family live with your smile and good heart within theirs... you will never be forgotten, my dear. Let your mother know that you want her to be at peace because you are smiling down upon her always. Today I spread CA wildflower seeds along the Big Sur cliffs in your honor. I expect to see your memory bloom each spring. God bless you and your family.

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

My deepest condolences for the loss of your Daughter, PV2 Janelle King. I know first hand what it feels like to lose a Daughter. Janelle was a patriot and true hero to join up during war and knowing full well the possible consequences of war. My heart goes out to all Janelle's family and friends. To Jamecia, a special prayer to heal the hurt of losing a Daughter. I hope the great memories that Mothers and Daughters share will help you move forward. Janelle would want that for you. God Bless.

It is disheartening to learn of the loss of such a truly esteemed and excellent soldier. For those of us who did know King and her great tenacity, the void is immense. She was also a friend to us all, honest and funny, and was especially encouraging to me when I was ready to give up on myself. I healed, got strong, and made it out of there just like she said I would. Mere words cannot describe how hard it is to understand why someone so good is not here anymore. Thoughts and hugs to the family of Janelle in their time of grief, as well as wishes for the safe return of all soldiers everywhere.

Prayer for Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen

To Janelle Family & Friends: I got the pleasure of meeting your wonderful daughter and friend a few times in Merced before I moved to Texas. The love she showed for her fiancé, his family, and our country was such a beautiful sight. All you could do was love being around her. I am truly sorry for your loss. Going through a loss of a family member is going to be hard, but as days goes by it does get a little easier, as you come to realize she is in a much better place. Though everyday she will be missed she will never be forgotten.

To Janelle: You are greatly missed but one day we all will meet again. I know you are up there watching over your family and friends. We love you and thank you for your greatest sacrifice.
