I was so sorry to hear about your son. I keep remembering in the bible, only the good die young. God takes them so they do not suffer here on earth. I hope that is true. Everyone greives in different ways. If I can be of help or need to talk please let me know. I do understand.

To My Cousin, My Friend
I remember when we used to laugh and play
Out in the yard throughout the day
We would run and jump and hit the ball
Play outside until our parents called
I remember when grandpa said “oh let them be”
When trouble came, we were “just kids” you see
As time went by we grew up and changed
We graduated then got engaged
I remember when we watched each other
Walk down the aisle and console each other
As we got older we grew apart
But know that you were always in my heart
Now god has said you have to go
They say there is a reason, but why I do not know
Tell grandma and grandpa I love them so
And know it hurts so bad to see you go
One day I know we will meet again
But until that day, I will always remember when
Love,
Donna
We love and miss you Jeremy. Steve, Nancy, Heather, Kris, & Boys we love you guys.

Dear Jeremy
You will be you dearly missed as you were an exceptional good friend to me while we served together in DO. I'm so grateful you were able to share in my retirement ceremonies with our family, and was very happy to see you become an exceptional NCO, serving the Air Force and our country very well. Take your rest and know that you did your very best.
God Bless you forever.
