We are so sorry for your tragic loss. As distant cousins in the McCrumb family, we are sorry we never met Jocey, but she appears to have accomplished much in service to family and country. A remarkable young woman who will be greatly missed by family and friends. Healing and blessings to you all.
The thoughts and prayers of the entire “Pride of Pennsylvania” Army ROTC program are with the McCrumb family. During her short time with us, Jocelyn made an impact on her fellow Soldiers, and we are forever grateful for the time she spent as part of our organization and the Army family. May the lord bless Jocelyn as she embarks on her next journey, and bless her family until they may all be together again.
