New York ? An Army unit is reviewing how it delivers information to families after a call to a western New York couple led them to believe their son had been killed in combat.

Ray Jasper of Niagara Falls said he, his wife, Robin, and their extended family spent four hours Sunday mourning their son, Sgt. Jesse Jasper, before learning from his girlfriend that he was alive.

The 26-year-old soldier called his father from Afghanistan to prove it after hearing about the mix-up.

“Dad, what’s going on?” Jesse Jasper asked.

“I said, ‘Oh my God you’re alive, I love you, I love you, I love you, you’re alive,'” Ray Jasper, 49, said Tuesday.

An Army spokesman with Jasper’s unit said officials may revise the written scripts used by volunteer liaisons to inform all families of any deaths within the unit to avoid similar misunderstandings in the future.
