Memories and Condolences

Dear Al and Diana,
I just learned of Jeremy's passing and was very saddened by the news. It seems such a short time ago, I took a young teen on to work beside me at the Bedford Station. From dishes to prep, to fryer and then line cook, Jeremy was always fun, cheerful, eager to learn, and a joy to have on the kitchen staff. His wonderful sense of humor coupled with the gangeling goings on of a teen-age boy, made work so much more enjoyable for the entire staff of the "Station" at that time.
Jim and I extend our deepest condolances.
Fondly,
Jane McKeon

Jeremy worked on a project with our carpentry crew some years ago and we were shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. He was a kind and friendly chap always ready to share his skills or lend a hand. Our sympathies to the family.

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Persinger family. Although we never met I feel like I know you through Jeremy. I am still in complete shock over his passing. However, I will always remember his kind heartedness and sense of humor. He had an amazing ability to make those around him instantly feel comfortable through his sense of humor. I will miss him a lot and think of him often.

Dear Jeremy,
I can't believe you're gone. I so enjoyed our chats and was really looking forward to hanging out more. I loved your spirit, individuality, kindness and humor. May God bless and be with you and your family.

Jeremy was a gift to us all. He brightened my day, was always there to listen, and just had the biggest heart! We are all heartbroken to learn of his passing. He may have left us too soon, but he achieved love and friendship in his life. My heartfelt sympathy and prayers are with his family and friends.

I knew Jeremy for a short time but a very intense time in life. We shared a lot of laughs and conversations about life and where we were going. I'm sad about his leaving us but he really hasn't left us at all. Please accept my heart felt sympathy and you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Jeremy was a good friend to me and my son Joe. One day I was in Home Depot helping my son pick out some materials for a skateboard box when we ran into Jeremy. He immediately volunteered to help my son and new exactly what to do. My son always reminded me what a nice guy he was for doing that. He also helped many days by talking to me about our journey in life. He was a good friend.

Hard to believe Jeremy is gone. He was our neighbor here in the City of Falls Church and he always made time to say hello or strike up a conversation. Such a friendly person. Our thoughts a prayers are with you at this difficult time.

My Dearest Jeremy,
Only our families remember the early childhood friendship that we shared. We lived in the same apartment complex and had the same babysitter when we were 3-4 yrs old. We played cars together and dug up your mother's flowerbed. (Fun until we were caught!) I always did envy that Big Wheel you raced around on compared to my "girly" tricycle. You were my "first boyfriend", first kiss and all! Throughout the school years and over the years, we really didn't stay that close but I can tell you I will ALWAYS remember that "sweet boy" that was my first playmate. To see you at the reunion warmed my heart more than you will ever know. As I raise my two sons, I pray that they will be that "sweet, playful friend" that I am so thankful I had as I first learned about friendships.
Diana, Al and Becky,
My parents, Jane & Tom Olsen, and I pray for peace & healing for your family.
Love, Jeremy's first girl!
