It's hard to believe son it's been 1 year since I said good bye. I've kept your memory alive with Rylie and will continue to do so. It's been hard to keep in touch with everyone. Somehow I think that if I don't somehow it will not have happened,but I know in my heart that isn't true. I miss you son - more than you would have ever believed possible. Love, Mom

Jim - Ive been reluctant to say my goodbyes and so i apologize for taking a year to get my act together. I still think of you often old friend and I will continue to do so.

As you no doubt may already be aware, I liberated your NY hat from your old bedroom. I didnt think you'd be needing it. It has moved with me from 2 places in the last year; From the city to the country to the burbs. It hangs on my wall now and smirks at me- beckons me to don it and do something mischievous. I wear it to poker games; It went with me to the world series last summer. Sad to say we didnt cash in any events, but we had one heckuva vacation.

My SON died today at 34, much too young for any life to end.



His life ended, not as a result of one of the many careless decisions he made throughout his life that could have claimed him at any time; but rather from a silent enemy growing inside - a hideous enemy he never knew was there - that never gave him a chance to fight back... and he would have fought - if he only had the chance.



He had so many plans and dreams - so much love in his heart to share - so many things he wanted to teach his son, Rylie, to help him make better choices than he made - funny how children help us to see life differently and set higher goals than we ever would for ourself.



There are pre-screening tests for pancreatic cancer - few know they exist. PLEASE, PLEASE don't take life for granted, don't think you are immune and indestructable. Don't think it "only happens to someone else" - it doesn't . . . it happens to those you love, it happens to YOU.



My son died today, and with him a part of me died too!

Until the end Jeramie fought bravely and with dignity. His very dear friends surrounded him with love. My memories of Jeramie will always be of a young man who did it his way and in the end taught each and everyone of us to grow closer. Life is much too short.



We will miss you Jeramie and we will keep your memory and character alive in Rylie



Love

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Life is a gift and we must proceed through life one day at a time with gratitude.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

To my cousin:



I have memories in my pocket.

They rattle among the change.



My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.



They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole

They give me comfort when I think I am alone.



Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.





I will miss you Jamie.

Be at peace.

Our deepest condolences to Jeramie's son and family on behalf of the Interlachen Country Club family. We knew Jeramie for such a brief time, but we found him to be personable, kind and considerate. He was accomplished in his career and he will be missed by his co-workers, who became his friends in our short time together.
