Letter to the Editor: Sincere gratitude for community’s support

To our family, friends and loved ones,

Our family would like to express our love and gratitude for your support during this difficult time. We cannot find words to let you know how much your acts of kindness mean to us. We will hold your loving generosity and thoughtful words, prayers and support in our hearts forever. Our communities of Harney County, Silverton and Mount Angel have helped us to feel so blessed even through this horrible time. 

We would like to thank everyone who joined together and helped with Josh’s service when we were unable to attend.  Thank you to Bev and Lafollette’s Chapel for letting us say our final goodbyes and through technology letting us share in the beautiful service. 

Though our family is facing so many challenges, changes and heartache we feel comforted by all of the love and support you have all given us. With all of our love and gratitude.

Jennifer, Liam and Penelope Shepherd
Mount Angel

Editor’s Note: Joshua Shepherd, 33, died in a car accident on May 18 as the family was traveling home to Mount Angel after an Eastern Oregon visit. Jennifer and Liam Shepherd were injured.
