It's really hard. I can't climb in your arms, 'cause you're not here. It's not your fault and if it was I wouldn't care! My heart is bigger than distance in between us. I know because I feel it beating!
So strong it'll knock them down. SO STRONG, so strong
I bet your skin is warm and that your smiling
Yeah, that's what I always loved the most about you
So strong, come and knock me down..
-K

I love you, I miss you!

Jeremiah

He was kind
He was thoughtful
He was funny
He was an "old soul"
He was TALL
He was handsome
He was a good friend
He was forgiving
He loved good food
He loved quads
He loved fishing
He loved independent films
He was a "gentle giant"
He was loved by many
He was a loving brother
He was my beloved son
Today he would have been 21
I miss him more than words can say
And wish with all my heart that he was still here

Happy Birthday my beautiful boy

It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I disagree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.

Missing you.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Lyman family and Kate, I am so sorry for your loss. I didn't get to know Jeremiah that well, but I did see him a few times when I was at the house with Jess. I will never forget the first words he said to me "And who are you??" ..as he was going into the fridge to get something to eat. Very funny kid, and someone who will be greatly missed by many. It still doesn't seem real. Rest In Paradise.

To the Lyman Family, I did not know Jeremiah, but 2 weeks ago my family also suffered a very tragic loss when my cousin, Michael J. Casullo III, was killed in an automobile accident at 19 years old. These last 2 weeks have been awful... we know your pain all too well and I am so sorry. Somehow, we will all get through the grieving and sorrows and one day be reunited again. Your entire family and all those who knew and loved Jeremiah are in my thoughts and prayers.

Kate Gagnon

Baby, I love you so much. I will never forget you, EVER. We had a bond that no one could ever understand or I could never even explain it. I dont exactly know where to go from here, but I know you will guide me through the rest of my lonely life. I hope you can hear me when I sing because, my love, I am singing for you. You are my heart and soul.

Your's forever, Katie.

Brenda, Ted and Jess,
surely there is no greater loss than to lose a child or sibling at such a young age. Miah, only 20 yrs. old ...Brenda and Ted, only other parents who have gone through this no how you feel , the mere thought of it brings me to tears for i can not imagine...Jess, i too have lost a brother far to young..some stars burn SO BRIGHT that they must be taken sooner..whatever assignment our LORD JESUS had for Miah and Carmen he must have felt ..MISSION ACCOMPLISHED...let us vow never to stop speaking about them and sharing ALL the CRAZY STORIES that keep them Alive in our hearts.. and may you find comfort in CHRIST JESUS in the days, weeks ,months, years ahead...love Suzan

Lyman Family - Jeremiah was our son, Jareds, lab partner at HVCC and they enjoyed many good times together. We were very shocked and saddened when we heard the news of his passing. After Jareds death, Jeremiah came to visit us several times to offer his support. You should be very proud of him. He was a great kid, and he will be missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Kevin, Melissa and Joshua Brenz
