Jer,
One of the biggest days of my life is coming up in the near future. I am sure it will be everything I have ever dreamed of, except I always pictured you up there right by our sides. Everytime I think of my wedding day and knowing you cant be there make me fall apart. I know that you will be up there watching the whole day but it still does not seem fare. Me and Tazsha think of you everyday and miss you more and more as time goes on. I Love You.

Dear Sheila and Jeremy and Joe.
Three years, yet it feels like yesterday. I think of Jeremy often and each time, I see him as a baby. What a beautiful, sweet child he was. It's no wonder he grew into such a great man. I still believe that Jeremy is amongst the angels as he is one himself. Sheila, Joe, look to the shining stars, look into every sunrise and there you will see your boy. Rainbows, rain drops, and snowflakes, he's there.
Love Always,
Pauline

Jer,
You would have loved that we have gotten a decent amount of snow so far this winter. I know that you'd be out riding on your snowmobile. It is very cold, but you have the proper equipment, and you would be off.
Nick is attempting to make it to the Olympics! You always said that he would make it, and that you would be there for him. Somehow, I just know that you will be there.
I just shead a tear, my son. I still miss you sooo much.
Luv ya,

Dear Jeremy,
What a joy you were to your Mom and Joe! You are missed so much by them. You are missed so much by all of your family (aunts, uncles, and especially cousins). It is hard to believe that it has been 3 years since you left us, but it has. I especially think about you more this time of year than any other. Save a place for all of us in heaven. We'll have a big party when we get there.

Jeremy, Jeremy, my sweet Jeremy, How I miss you. Each & everyday, I think of you. And How I miss you. Knowing that you must be with God, is some consulation. But, How I miss you. I talk to you all the time, and hope that you hear me. And How I miss you. It's been three years. And How I miss you. Grandpa & David were there to greet you. But, How I miss you. You and Grandpa must have been there to greet Nana. And How I miss you. The tears now are flowing. And How I miss you. Just to hear you call me "Ma', just one more time, would be awesome. But, How I miss you. Knowing that I will see you again is comforting. But, How I miss you. I Love you Jer. And How I miss you.

I know in my heart that you greeted Nana, along with Grandpa, as she was taken home with the Lord. I sent her with a nice message for you. I know how much you loved Nana. Now, perhaps you can convince Grandpa to play scrabble with you both. LOL

Jeremy~

I cannot believe it's been 2 whole yrs! I thought of you all day a yesterday. Today is the 13 yr anniversary of my mom’s passing. I wonder if you’ve met! You two would get along great! I miss and love you today and everyday! BFF’s!

October 24, 2007

Jer,
I can't believe that is has been 2 years today. 7:52 this morning. And it's weird that our address is 752. A little after 2:00 that afternnon was the worst day of my life. Seeing the police at the door. It reminded me of when you were almost killed at BJ's in Leominster. That was another horrible day, when the police came and told me about that. Thank God you lived through that one. I got a few more wonderful years to spend with you. My eyes are full of tears today, as they do often while thinking of you.
Don't know what I am doing today. But, I am going out with Marcy this afternoon. I think perhaps we will go out to Stoneham & visit Erika at BJ's. She is still such a lovely girl, Jer.
I had a mass said for you this past Sat. I know that you are with the Lord and will understand. I just want to make sure that you gained your wings.
I love & Miss you,
MA XOXO

Well Jer, I can't believe that it is almost 2 years since I last saw you. I still miss you so much. I listen to your voice on the answering machine often. The 2nd golf tournament for the scholarship fund was another success this year.
You have to be with the Lord, since there just couldn't be a better place for a great guy like you!
Love,
Mom

Jer,
This was written for you by Pauline Michalewicz, as soon as she heard about your accident. It was read at your grave site by Rose.

Angels Among Us
There are angels among us
This I know is true
They are in the faces of strangers
in hearts of friends
They are in the children God gives us
And in the young that He calls home
Yes, there are angels among us
We just have to Look to see them
in each rain drop that falls
in the snow flakes that fly
in the sun that shines so bright
Another angel has just been called home
To help in some great way
For without these wonderful angels
God could not do his job
Jeremy, sweet Jeremy,
Has been called away home
And now he too is an angel
Who will continue on with his journey
Of helping others as he did here on earth
Only now
Instead of doing it with a sparkle in his eyes
He'll do it in every new sunrise

-Pauline Michalewicz

Well Jer, it's still soo hard to believe that you are gone. I pray every day that you are now with the Lord. You were such a good person, I must believe that you are with him, and that we shall see each other again.
Snowmobiling time is done for this year.
Now, it's time to clean the yard. You always liked that part of this time of year. WRONG! But, of course, we are one on the last people to have snow in our yard. Remember Tazsha use to go sliding in shorts?
I LOVE YOU, JER!!!!!!!!!!

Well Jer it had been a couple of Thanksgivings that we (your mom,me chad and joe) haven't spent it together. There were many many years that we all were together and many good times that will never be forgotten. Times like hangovers for everyone, playing cards, lets not forget those horrible nickels that you made sure that I got everyone! Things have changed since you have been gone. Thanksgiving was always the time that brought us all together as a family and friends. Chad, Tracy and I miss that time that we all spent together. Miss you. I will save all the nickels for you.

Hi everyone, Hi Jeremy,
It has been very hard for me this past year. I think of Jeremy everyday and wish that day never happened. Driving is still very hard for me but I keep it in my mind that Jeremy would have wanted me to keep on with the everyday challenges that come my way.
I can feel him with me everyday, and it keeps me going. Since that day I always say to myself that everything happens for a reason. Someday, I will find out that reason.
After the accident, I dedicated a room in my home to Jeremy. I created a New England Patriots theme on the walls, ceiling, and windows. Since we both are big fans!
I am sure he has seen it and loves it. The passion we both have for the PATRIOTS was a stong bond we shared and will share forever.
Jeremy, I want you to know you will always be in our thoughts and prayers. Miss you and love you.

Well, yesterday was certainly a hard day. I really can’t believe that you have been gone for a whole year. I think of you all the time and always wish we could have hung out one last time. I miss all the times we would just talk and crack up at the dumbest things! J

I always think of your mom and hope all is well with her and hope that she is gaining strength with every passing day.

. I’m really glad that I got to say I love you when we talked on the phone before you left for Texas. You are truly missed and loved- I wish that I could tell you in person how much your friendship meant to me. Love Sara

In My Pocket

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.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Jer,
A year ago yesterday, was the last time that I spoke to you.It is still so difficult each day, but today about this time especially. About 2:00 was when I received the visit from the police. Jer, I love you and miss you soo much! I know that we shall meet again with the Lord. But, I still feel that he took you too soon. I listen to a message that you left for me, beginning with "Hey, Ma". You were in Mississippi. Your sweet voice.I found a a bumper sticker of yours. It reads, "Angels among us", and has 2 angels on it. I think that I am going to put it on your truck.
God Bless,
Love,

It's amazing, you've been gone for 1 year today. We miss you and we think of you everyday. Tazsha miss's you she speak's of you often and she's starting to ask to see you. But i know you visit her in her dreams and watch over all of us. You are greatly missed and we love you, the next couple of months are going to be tough. I just wish i could have a sturn hug or see that smirk or hear your sense of humor. Watch over us!

Priscilla Guay

October 23, 2006

It's hard to believe that it's been a year already since you left. I know your mom loves and misses you very much. She speaks of you often and in such a loving way. We had such a good time this past Labor Day visiting with her and Joe at Mark & Missy's house, looking at pictures of when you, Mark, Gregg & Sharon were kids. Your mom sure knew how to make a Halloween costume! You all were so cute. Again, thank you for being the cousin you were. It meant a lot to Sharon, Gregg, and Mark.

Jer's Mom

Jer,

I can't believe that 10 months have passed. I am sitting in your room, wishing you were here to tell me to 'Stop bothering you, and go to my own room.' I still listen to your voice on the answering machine. At least I know that you must be with the Lord. He really must have needed a good person, because he took a great guy.

I Love You, Jer

For all of you unable to see this in person.

Jeremy, I still can't believe that it has been 6 months. I still think that you are going to walk through the door,saying, "Hey,Ma!" The scholarship in your memory shall be given out at 'Gansett graduation, beginning of June. Imagine Marcy is graduating this year!

I love you and miss you very much. I know that the Lord shall take care of you & we shall meet again. But, for now I am still wish you were still here with all of us. I know you are watching out for us all.

Jeremy,

I'm writing to you today simply to thank you. For a long time now I've spend my days crying and wondering how such an awful thing could happen to a wonderful person. But through all this I never thanked you for what you gave me while you were alive. Since the first day I meet you at BJ's there was something about you that made my heart melt. I spent two years hoping I would finally get the chance just to go on a date with you. Then my dream finally came true. With one look into your eyes on the beach I fell hard and fast. Every day since that first date had been the best of my life. Every moment I spent with you brought me so much happiness that words couldn't even explain. My one regret is not showing you how much you meant to me. We could have been eating dinner, watching a movie or walking on the beach, but no matter what we were doing I knew being in your arms was where I belonged. You were my protector, my inspiration, my courage, my strength, you were everything to me. Today, Jeremy, I want to let you know how much I truly love you. I thank god everyday for bringing not only a wonderful man into my life but a love that will last forever. I can't see you, I can't hear, but I feel you. I know that you are my angel.

Barbara Sillanpaa

Most of you don't know me. I'm Jeremy's mothers friend for about 15 years or more. Jeremy and my son Chad spent some time together growing up. Sheila and I were single mothers bring up two sons. We did take care of each others son's while we both worked different shifts at the same place of employment. So I would like to think that Jer and I had a special place in each others heart. I used to tease him and he laughed at me and ran to his room. As years went by he got smarter and teased me about things (nickels) remember Sheila. I hated Nickels so when he got older and we had Thanksgiving Dinner together for many years and we played cards (think he cheated) he would make sure he had plenty of nickels for me and laughed about it. There were many times camping with Sheila, Myself and Chad though out the years. I guess you could say Jeremy has a place in my heart. Everytime I see a Nickel I know he is thinking about me and laughing.

Those Who Have Touched Our Lives



Every special person who touches our life leaves their own unique mark on our heart. A mark which can never be chizzled away even if the years eventually pull us apart.

We can take on their expressions and such the more we share of ourselves together. It's those little things about another person which can remain a part in us forever.

People who we have met throughout our life become a part of the person who we are today. We learn and we grow from the relationships, each one touching us in it's own special way.

We laugh about spending too much time together when we think we have become like each other, but it just shows how much we've been touched by the relationship we have found with another.

Those special people who can touch our lives are like precious jewels amongst life's treasures. They shine on us and leave a lasting impression, a unique mark on our heart, a gift without measure.

Jeremy, this and so much more is the essence of you.

Thinking of you.

Love Uncle Mark and Auntie Liz

Dear Jeremy,

Your Mom had told us about this web sight but today we finally got to experience it first hand. I write to you as if you are here in the present because I truly believe that you are just a heart beat away.We will always question why this had to happen. It is always harder on the loved ones that you leave behind. I do know one thing Jeremy, you touched so many lives in such a positive way. That was made evident by the amout of people that showed up for your services. But then you knew it for you were right there in the midst of it all. You looked so handsome as if only asleep.

Come visit us in our dreams dear nephew and stay close by your Mom and Dads side. We will see you again soon.

With Love forever and always,

Uncle Mark and Auntie Liz OXOXOX

I believe that Jeremy was on this earth to enstill love & compassion, from which I have witnessed from all of whom he touched.

God now has a new angel watching all of whom he touched. He was the best son a mother could ask for. His humor at times was well, if you knew him, you know what I mean. But he meant well to all. If you witnessed his smile, he liked you.

So, God Bless you all!

Luv to all,

Jer's Ma,{I loved to call him Jer, & he loved to call me Ma}

Sheila,Joey & Erica....I'm so sorry

Jeremy was taken from your lives. I

remember a cute little boy with

thick black curls, big brown eyes and a beatiful smile with dimples.

He was so eager to help anyone at

anytime. Now God needed his help and Jeremy went. A gaurdian angel is the highest honor. God Bless

To Jeremy who was an awesome friend and a great guy to work with. During a long and hard day at work, Jeremy always found that upbeat side and made the day fun. Jeremy's sense of humor was always welcome. (Jeremy you will be missed) God bless and my condolences to the family.

To Shelia & Joe Having moved away from Templeton years ago we only had short visits with Jeremy. However, those were wonderful moments and he developed into a wonderful young man. Someone who we were every proud of as a member of our family. We enjoyed hearing of his accomplishments as he grew as if he were one of our Sons. Words are difficult to express out sadness in his passing. We will continue to think of him as the years pass as the wonderful person he was.

What can I say about my pumpkin. He changed my life. The moment I meet Jeremy I couldn't take my eyes off of him. He touched my heart in a way I never thought possible. Not only is Jeremy sweet, caring, loving and smart, he is an amazing boyfriend. He gives me the confidence I need to face any challenge. He gives me the happiness I need to wake up everyday with a smile. He is my inspiration to help people and to be the best person I can be. Jeremy is my baby and I will miss him and think of him everyday. My prayers are with Sheila and Joe (Jeremy's parents) and family.

Our deepest sympathies to Jeremys' family and girlfriend. We knew Jeremy from BJ's, where we both worked for many years with Jeremy. We knew him to be a sensitive, caring person with a deadly sense of humor! He always had a great joke to share or funny story to tell. Jeremy was a great person, and a very strong person too. He was a hero to those of us at BJ's when we were robbed at gunpoint, with only Jeremy and a couple of others there at the time. Jeremy kept his cool and held it together. We have only good memories of him and will miss him greatly! He'll always be in our hearts.
