17 years ago... that's when we last spoke. That is when I last saw you. Brother, you have not faded in my thoughts. You live stronger than ever. I love you bro, and continue to live my life in your honor. Rest easy my friend. Until we meet again. Scouts Out!

Hi Jeremy - i know you´re watching over us all already, but figured I´d share a couple of pictures i know you would love. Caleb graduated highschool this year and he´s followed your lead joining the military, the marines, he´s in bootcamp at the moment, we are all so proud of him and know you would be too. Nana Woodburn has seen a handful of hockey games, Everett has another upcoming tournament at the Cape soon, hoping we´ll get her to some more games.
Thinking of you often. Xoxo

Hey Jeremy,
I had a dream about you last night. We were hanging out just like old times and then all of the sudden realized I must be dreaming and started to cry. It has my heart quite heavy and sad today. Missing you, friend.

Charlie,
thank you for the message - it means the world to know that Jeremy is not forgotten and his memory still lives on, as it always will.
Jeremy - speaking of hockey, I wish you could have met, Everett. He is 7 now and is an awesome little hockey stud lol He is so competitive and his passion for the game doesn't go unnoticed when he's on the ice (and off!) He is OBSESSED with the Bruins and the sport in general. Remember when you got your first REAL Bruins Starter jacket?? At the time I wasn't even into hockey, but I thought it was soooo cool, but maybe it was just because it was on you :) I found a Bruins Starter jacket for Everett, as soon as I saw it I thought of you. We are definitely a hockey family at this point - Derek plays here and there, and I even played the Adult Learn to Play this year! Anyway, Everett is the greatest blessing in my life, he reminds me of the beauty and joy that life has to offer, and he often reminds me of you too. He is so silly, so sweet, and so sensitive to everyone around him. I have told him about his Uncle Jeremy and he every now and then out of the blue he will talk about you and say he is going to invent a machine that brings people back to us, and that he wishes he met you - but since that can't happen, I will do my best to convey to him the story of how amazing a person you were and share all the memories I can, I don't know that I'll do you justice, but I'll try my best.
I'm sure wherever you are you've seen how such a crazy year it has been here, but I remind myself everyday how beautiful life is and that there is joy everywhere - if we just allow ourselves to see it. I love you Jeremy and am so proud of you and the legacy you have left behind.
xoxo

We realize that we are very late to express our deepest condolences, but we wanted to let your family and friends know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this week and several of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and hometown of Jeremy P. Bouffard US Army Corporal.
We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their families and friends and others who support our mission.
We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.

Jeremy,
I didn't realize the date today...I've been watching "who do you think you are" lately and randomly started looking up middlefield and my family...and somehow ended up seeing you and finding you here and feeling like you led me here...I really miss you jeremy...your infectious laugh and energy...playing basketball in your drive way. Sitting with you on the bus. You felt like a brother to me with your strong overprotective nature haha. Anyone who messed the people you loved were done for...I wish we could talk...I know you'd disapprove of some things but I also know you'd understand too. Either way you'd tell it to me straight and stick to your guns whether it hurt my feelings or not haha. Thanks for thinking of me and showing up tonight...I love you man...ill rake a pile of leaves for you this fall and think of you when I jump in...Oh, and thank you for always protecting my brother. Even when I picked on him...goodnight jeremy...

Dear Jeremy,
We went to high school together, but you probably wouldn't remember me. I, however, remember you very well as a talkative, friendly guy who had a smile for everyone, and I've been thinking of you a lot lately. I cry every time I see a picture of your little boy; it breaks my heart that he never had the opportunity to know you. I cannot imagine how much your family must miss you.

Hey Buddy, been thinkin about like always. Love you to death cousin, can't believe how time flies. Me and AJ lived together for awhile up in Killington this winter. He was working as a freestyle snowboard instructor at Killington Mountain school. He's an amazing snowboarder, really has a lot of talent. I'm proud of him and I know you would be too. My job was a little less prestigious, I was working as a cook at one restaurant and a dishwasher at another. We had a lot of fun man, wish you'd been there with us. I just did my taxes today and I'm getting a pretty nice return, hopefully I'm going to finally get a tattoo for you. Miss you cousin, love you so much and I'm so proud of you. I still tell all my friends about you and how great you are. Glad I found this page, I'll come back and drop you a line again sometime soon!

Jeremy, sometimes I have so much that I need to do that I can't let myself think about how much I miss you otherwise I would be sidelined for hours or days missing you. So mostly instead I think about fun happy things that we did together and try not to get too sad ... but sometimes I just have to stop and really think about you ... which I did a lot this week. I love you and miss you so much. XOXOXOX "the little old lady"

Jeremy,
One thing I wanted to do before I leave the states in a couple days, was to make sure I release your bracelet made out of your uniform. So, tomorrow, 14AUG10 in the evening, I am releasing your band on Facebook first, give your family each a bracelet, then, the bracelets will be available to buy on the www.bandsforarms.com site. I have been deciding and contemplating what to call it. I've finally come up with, The Honored Bouffard Bracelet.

Hey Jeremy...so, this is the first time I'm writing on this thing, it's not so easy for me to do this kind of thing where everyone can see, but somehow i feel more ready and at ease doing it now and it's almost a sense of relief to just feel like i can talk to you again. I miss that most you know, just talking with you and just hanging out...not even doing anything or going anywhere (though i miss bball and movies and driving in your jeep ;) but it's those moment where we used to just sit at home on the couches just talking....i don't know if you can read this where you are now, or see me, or hear me when i talk to you, or hear my thoughts when i think of you, but i like to think that maybe you can, it makes things a little easier to bare.
I just want you to know that i haven't forgotten about you Jeremy. not an hour in the day goes by that i don't think of you; that i don't hear your laugh, envision your smile - with your pointy teeth :), or forget the way to talked...i never would have thought that i'd have to deal with not having you around anymore, even when you left for over there i still never thought you would never come home...you seemed so invincible, to me anyways. i don't know if you knew it or not, but i looked up to you more than anyone else jeremy. i really did, all those times you pushed me to be better, but were still there to comfort me if i didn't make it at something....i loved that about you :) speaking of pushing me to do my best, i've started at the gym. I've been in such a rut since you passed...i mean, i'd have a good day or week, but it was always followed by a bad one...not trying to feel sorry for myself, but just missing you so much i couldn't concentrate on making myself better...but i'm working on it, it's not easy - i think people who don't have to deal with something like this don't realize that it doesn't just get better right away, it doesn't work like that...everyone works differently with it, for me it's just straight up denial, which i've figured out is almost worse...then people think i must be fine cuz i act like i am, when really i'm a wreck...but i don't have to prove myself to anyone, all i know is i loved you and i miss you and i will always have those 21 years to look back on and remember :) I love you so much and wherever you are, if you are anywhere, I'll always be thinking of you...you were the best brother i could have ever asked for...xoxo
love your dorky little sister :)
