Reflections for Officer Jeremiah J. Hurley, Jr.
I just saw the movie Blown Away..(on Comcast On Demand) at the end it said that it was dedicated to Jeremiah J. Hurley, Jr.
I am very sorry for this family's loss. My prayers will be with you, especially now in the event of this verdict being overturned and the resentencing of the bomber. It must have opened up a very deep wound for you. There is a site called
Virtual Memorials.com and I recommend it because it gave me a sense of closure by allowing me to build a memorial to my son who passed away whe he was 19 years old. I know how devestating it is to loose a son, brother or sister. I hope this site will help you deal with your grief.
Again, my prayers are with you.
May Jeremiah Rest In Peace.
Sincerly,

Jerry, I'll always remember you're calm presense at the bomb calls that you responded to while I worked the streets and appreciated your professional response along with your brothers on the bomb squad. Thanks for all your help in those stressful situations.

I write with deep regard for your loss. I am a recent graduate from the Boston Police Academy Class 45-06, and must say that everytime we ran pass your husband's memorial in Wollcott Sq. his precence was felt and I endured extreme pride. His dedication to the Boston Police Department will never be forgotten. I remember watching the aftermath on the news, I was 14 yrs. old, and can remember the pain you felt. I am sorry for your misfortune, and will keep you and your family in my prayers forever.
Always,

Officer Hurley, today marks the 15th anniversary of your tragic death. I can still see the image of the explosion that took your life that was shown on the news over and over again. It was a very sad day for all. My hat is off to all the bomb squad guys. You have to be some of the gutsiest people in the world. God has you by his side now, just in case.
May you forever Rest in Peace, Brother.
