Emily Jazmin Tatum Perez

West Point, 2005

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Major William White on September 20, 2006:

Her family lost their child, their daughter a small piece of themselves.

Her church lost a beloved member of their congregation.

Her friends and classmates lost a highly valued, respected, very highly thought of friend and classmate

The military lost a fine soldier, full of hope, and unlimited potential.

We all lost a little piece of ourselves as we were confronted with our mortality and forced to try and make sense of this.

Heaven gained an angel for their choir. An angel to brighten things up and make it better like only she could for all those she came in contact with.

If there were more like her then we would not appreciate and miss her so much. It is because she was so special that the pain of her loss is so much greater.

My condolences to the family and friends. She will be missed.
