I enjoyed Jeremy's witty humor and watching him win at cards. He offset his muscle disorder with a strong mind and was an inspiration. May peace and comfort be with all of the caretakers who helped ease his pain and enjoy life. Thank you for your efforts to help him be a part of our lives.

I enjoyed Jeremy's witty humor and watching him win at cards. The way he admirably offset his weak muscles with a strong mind was an inspiration. May peace and comfort be with all of his caretakers who helped him so much over the years to ease his pain and enjoy his time here with us. Thank you for your efforts to facilitate my cousin being a part of my life.
