I received a message from Jeremy asking me to convey his heartfelt thanks to everyone for their love, support and prayers over the loss of his son and hunting buddy Daniel. I sincerely doubt that I can say it any better than Jeremy did in his letter to me so I've copied and pasted it here.(I did some editing for spelling)
"Roy, If you could pass on my appreciation to the folks on Tradgang that would be great. I'm not the best with words.
I have been keeping a watch on everyone's responses and support.I want to tell everyone thank you but I'm so overwhelmed by all of the posts that I'm not sure how to put it into words that would tell them all how much I appreciate everything. Me and my family are dealing quite well considering. Our faith in God has really shone in the last few days and we know that it is all going to be ok, its just going to take time to heal. Daniel was baptized this summer and that gives us some peace. Its just going to be so different without my little buddy.
Thank You again all of the responses means a lot to us.
God Bless Jeremy and Rebecca Cosgrove"
With all the love of Christ Jesus
God bless

Thank u for sharing and heartfelt thoughts and prayers still go out for their family!
Again thank u for the update
Thanks for the update
Thanks for the update, Mudd. Still thinking about you and yours, Jeremy, and keeping you in our prayers.
Thanks for the update, Mudd. Do you know if there's anything that Jeremy and his family need that maybe some of us could help out with?
Thanks Mudd, we'll keep praying for him on this end.
Prayers continuing from our home as well.
Thanks for sharing with us Mudd.
Our prayers continue.
thanks for telling everyone Mudd, still in my thoughts and prayers
Thanks for sharing that Mudd. Their family is still and will continue to be in my prayers.
I REALLY appreciate the update Mudd, the family is in my prayers daily and I hug my little one extra tight every night since I read the news. There's no way to describe the treasure that is to me, and the gift - if I can dare call it that - that your loss brings to my family, and my tradgang family as well.
We never know what act will convey spirit's message into another heart, what manner God works through us, nor the timing of things. Daniel's death is a loss to all of our hearts and an opportunity to experience a gift in all of our souls. For the lesson I have learned, with all do respect to you and my deepest condolence Jeremy, I am grateful.
TTT for Jeremy and his family.
God bless,Mudd
God Bless Jeremy & Rebecca through their loss with your healing touch and grace. Care for their son Daniel until they meet again. Amen
Thanks for passing this on to everyone Mudd...
I received a pm from another Tradgang member asking if there anything else they could do beyond keeping the families in their prayers. I thought it a good question, told him so and committed to going back to Jeremy and Rebecca to ask that question of them.
Here is their reply:
"We have been overwhelmed by all of the donations and support here locally.
At this time what we need most is for everyone to keep praying for us to have the strength to get through these difficult times.
If anything else comes to mind we will let you know.
Me and my whole family appreciate the offer. Thank You!!!
God Bless Jeremy and Rebecca"
Thank you Tradgang family for your love and support for this hurting family.
God bless,Mudd
Thanks, Mudd.
Thanks to Ghost Dancer I was made aware of another thread that was made specifically for trying to give help to the Cosgrove and/or Russell families.
I went back and found that thread. Then I found a post by Amicus that gave specific directions as to the where and how's to give.
