Not sure what to say?

Sending heart felt condolences after just hearing about Jeremy´s passing. A life well lived, indeed! Hoping that so may wonderful and loving memories help deal with your loss. I remember 40 yrs ago, Jeremy riding his bike to my door with challah in hand. The best welcoming to our new community. Jeremy had (by definition) all the characteristics of a true Mensch. As a tribute to Jeremy, I will try harder to focus on and share these traits with others. He was a great team "Mensch"leader...

Dearest Vicki - Your heart must be aching. But at least you have the consolation of knowing that towering spirit is free in the cosmos at last! It was a privilege to know Jeremy for the brief time I did. No one quite like him! I hope to see your before long. Prayers and love from all your friends here

I think of all of my cousins, Jeremy dazzled me the most; bright, caring, energetic, family-oriented, and kind. I remember his Shaggy Dog Stories (something only Shomer may remember as it happened during our trip to New Britain when I was 16). Jerry and I send our heartfelt condolences. Debbie Bass Weinstein

Vicky, Daniel & Ilana, I am so sorry to hear about Jeremy! What a special light he had! Sending my love!

Dearest Vicki, My deepest condolences on your loss. I have cherished for decades the memory of yours and Jeremy´s hospitality when I arrived on campus in the Fall of 1980 as the new RC University Minister and you invited me to your beautiful home for dinner. How grateful I was then as now for your kindness. Hoping to see you again soon. With love, John Tivenan

I am so sorry to hear this news, please accept my condolences, cousin Judy in Cleveland OH
