I will always cherish one of the last memories I have of you and that was when ya'll came to Virginia Beach and I even got to meet Kayti for the first time. That's my cousin Jeremy that I will always remember; kind eyes, a big heart, and those dimples and smile that lit up the room. I'm honored to count myself among those who's lives were touched by yours.
p.s. the tigers pulled out a win against the tigers today...made me think of you

The LORD Is My Shepherd

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointestScott my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Dear Karsten Family, There are no words to express how sad we feel for each and every one of you at the moment. The countless years of watching Jeremy run everywhere he went in the neighborhood, as a small boy, still remain alive in us today. We can't help but smile when we think of him taking off down the street. What a priceless gift from God Jeremy will always be. We pray that you not only hold on tight to eachother during this difficult time, but also all the beautiful memories that remain alive in each of you to share every chance you get. Blessings, Harold & Janet Wolff, and Family
