P I think of you often this time of year. Maybe because it is your birthday month. I can not make life make sense sometimes and that is what you helped me so. Ivh liebe dich and I hope your looking down from heaven and at peace. You can never be forgotten and we all know this world is not our home.

I still hold Jeremy in my heart and wish you peace. This was a tragic loss and there is know coming back but acceptance. He was a lovely person.
I remember how he wanted to be like Kenny G because he played the saxophone. He was talented.
I hope the best for your family.

Jeremy, our precious son, our hearts hurt not having you in our daily lives. We miss you and Johnny so much. I know you both are in heaven, which gives us peace. We will always remember the good times and all the positive things that enriched our lives. We imagine you playing your saxaphone and the glorious sounds of heaven. You and Johnny are forever in our hearts. We will love you forever.

I will always rememember Jeremy when he helped me with paper routes. My daughter Michelle and Jeremy were friends at Merrill and Roosevelt. He was a very charming and nice kid. I am sorry for your loss and will always rememember his love of the saxophone.
