Jacob D. Bower

West Point, 2015

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by The McMahon Family, 2008 WP grad family on July 25, 2011:

Dear Bower family and all who loved Jacob,

We sadly read the news about your dear Jacob's passing and just received dad Dean's posting sent out to all of your West Point family.

Although we never met, I read the paragraph about Jacob and couldn't help seeing the similarities between our sons. Our Michael is a 2008 WP graduate who also went to USMA hoping to be chosen for a medical school scholarship. Right now he is attending his third year at Weill Cornell Medical College in Manhattan and is doing his surgical rotation. Tears filled my eyes knowing that this is not to be for your Jacob, but then remembered that Heaven is now Jacob's home - how glorious! Eternity is around the corner for all of us, and we also have loved ones who have passed who we look forward to that wonderful reunion!

Please know that the entire West Point community grieves with you and prays for Almighty God to mend your broken heart. Let God carry you during this difficult time.

With love & prayers,
Laurel & John and
The McMahon Family
