In Loving Memory

of

Mark Allen Gregory, Jr.

January 22, 2005

to

August 13, 2005

Interment, Hebron Cemetery

Shepherdsville, Kentucky

 

 

Our smallest Fire Fighter has been called home to be with Our Father God.

His smile and laughter still rings in our ears, but God needed another Angel,

So, little Allen -

It is now your Blessed job to watch down upon us as

you run through the fields of Daisies, steeped in the Brilliant Sunshine,

As Jesus walks with you for Eternity.

You will always hold a special place in our Fire Fighting Family.

Lebanon Junction Fire and Rescue

Lebanon Junction , Kentucky

Mark Allen Gregory, 6 months old, was apparently the victim of SIDS.

Our Fire Fighters were on the scene in less than two minutes, but despite our best efforts,

he went Home. The family has many needs, and the

Lebanon Junction Fire and Rescue Squad is taking donations for whatever may come their way.

If my Canteen FReeper Family is interested, please FReep mail me,

and I can send you info on how to help.

Prayers are always appreciated, and we ask for those - ABOVE ALL ELSE. 

This story may possibly be in our local paper this week. The website is http://www.pioneernews.net/ .

We are not sure if a special fund will be allocated as yet, but the local church benevolence fund,

and our Fire Fighting Family has raised close to $300.00 so far. The Funeral services were donated

by Kappel Funeral Home. Lebanon Junction, Kentucky - yet Hospital costs and interment has yet to be revealed to us.

Thank you for your prayers and support. JK

You wrote a wonderful tribute for a truly heartbreaking tragedy.

My prayers go out for this angel's family.

How sad. Truly a parent's worst nightmare. May God grant them some comfort in this horrible time.

Condolences and prayers.

I can't imagine how parents can draw breath when this happens. It makes a heart so heavy.

Three different families who were all friends of ours each lost a child to SIDS. It's a horrible shock to the entire family and friends.

God Bless. Prayers.

My nephew died of SIDS at six weeks, and I can attest to the rawness of the wound to the parents and all his close relatives. Prayers for God's comfort for all the bereaved ...

"Suffer little children, and forbid them not to come unto me, for such is the kingdom of heaven". Jesus Christ ca 30 AD.

Little Mark Allen is now more alive than any of us who are left behind for the time being. He is living in the presence of the risen Son of God in a place far, far better than anything any of us have ever seen or even dreamed of.

I know that sounds like a trite platitude at a time like this, but we have the word of the living God that it is true.
