Dearest Jeremy,
Your Mom is finally with you... In my head I know this is a good thing... She missed you so much. She is no longer in pain, she no longer suffers, no longer worries about being a burden or stressing the family out... But my heart hurts, a big piece of it is missing, an even bigger piece than the one you took with you. It just never feels like it will ever heal. Take care of her as you look over us all. I love you both so much.
Love always (& mostest),
Aunt Dawn

This week will mark the 6 month anniversary of your death. Everyone has told me when you died that it will get easier as time went on however it is getting harder and harder each day and the hole in my heart is still as big as the morning that my life changed forever. You were snatched from me too soon however I keep telling myself that God has great plans for you. And now I can take you wherever I go. I love you so much. Each morning I wake up and wait for you to ask me to make you breakfast or wait for you to ask me what's for dinner and it's not even lunch time yet. My ice-tray is filled every morning cause I don't have you to hog all the ice. But I would trade it all and more to have you back. I love you!!!!!!

Jeremy,
It has been nearly 3 months since you left our world and entered Heaven. Not a day goes by that you are not in our thoughts. You have left us many fond memories to smile about, but tears do still fall because we miss you dearly! You were a great kid! A wonderful nephew! One who was filled with lots of love, laughter, kindness, many talents and much more. We miss your presence, hugs and your I love yous. Now, we have embraced your spirit as our newest angel. Heading to our favorite place tomorrow. Disney! Sure wish you could be there with us!!!!! Wait, you will be because you are forever in our hearts! Miss you Jer!!!! Keep making rainbows and watching over us, as we will always love you!!!!
Love, Aunt Deb, Uncle Joe, Andrew and Grace

Little Dork I still cannot believe that you aren't here with us. I miss you every second of every day. No matter how long it was without seeing you the minute we all got together everything was back to normal. There are so many things that make me think of you and all the fun times we had together. I will never be able to eat mac and cheese with ketchup and not think about how disgusted you were when Dana and I said we liked it or the game Things and not think of the ridiculous facts we learned about our families that night. I know you are here with us though you prove it to me all the time and I love it. I hope you are up there teaching every one how to dance and making them laugh with your ridiculous one liners. Just keep watching over us and showing us in your ways that you are still here. One day we will all be up in the principals office to play but you are going to have to wait a while. Just keep you patience like you always did. Until we meet again little cousin, I love you forever.

I have wanted to put something on here for a month now and couldnt come up with the words,I miss you more then words can describe. You were the best little cousin i could ever ask for and we shared a special bond that i cannot explain. I have other teenage boy cousins that could not be bothered with their older cousins, but not u.. We had a great relationship since u were born and it never changed u never thought u were to cool or tuff to give your cousins a hug or tell us u love us,. Jeremy u are so special in so many ways i have so many memories of you and i will NEVER forget them.. I have thought of u and cried for you every day for a month now and the pain is no less then it was the minute i found out u were not longer here.. They say everything happens for a reason but losing you is completely unfair to soo many people, there is so many people heart broken over the loss of you that i cannot believe there could be a reason for this, so whatever god has planned for you it better be ENORMOUS because u always were destined for greatness little cousin! Things will never be the same with out u, but i know your still here i know you hear me talk to you all the time and i know you send signs and i see them. Look over all of us, and keep waitin in that principals office until we all come to play with u! i love you!

Dear Jeremy ,
I don't know what happened to the first part of my letter but I just wanted you to know how much I love you and how badly I miss you and want you back here with me. But then I got to thinking that wanting you back is being very selfish. You are in the best place you could be right now...Heaven. And even though I want you here with me I have to take comfort knowing that you are with me in my heart and you will always watch over me. You are now my guardian angel. I love you more then anything. Have a wonderful time up there with the rest of your family and save a spot for me. Mommy -

There is not a moment that goes by that something doesn't remind me of you in some fashion whether it's a feeling, a smell or saying. I don't know if that will ever go away but everyone keeps telling me it will get easier. But the size of the hole you have left in my heart is so big I don't know how they could be right. I love you so much I can't imagine the rest of my life without you. I would trade places with you in a second but then I think that is very selfish of me cause you are in the best place anyone could be...Heaven. And even though I want you here with me I have to take comfort knowing that you are with me in my heart and you will always watch over me. You are now my guardian angel. I love you more then anything. Have a wonderful time up there with the rest of your family and keep a spot for me. Mommy

Trying to come up with something brilliant and whitty to say, but words are failing me as my heart breaks. My J-man, my Jer, is no longer here to give me a hug to greet me hello, to light up a room with his smile, to make you just laugh by saying something unexpected. Our Gang Family gatherings will never be the same without you and uncle CJ joking back and forth (pause 1 & pause 2). You were taken from us before we could see you reach all your dreams. But I loved seeing how many people you touched, how many people loved you, I loved that you loved and honored me enough to call me your Aunt because you always felt more like a nephew or a son then a mere friend to me. I will forever keep you close to my heart ... I will look after your Mom, Dad and Titi (Taylor) for you. I love and miss you so much already. Rest easy J-man XOXO

What I feel most in my broken heart is that God simply has special plans for Jeremy that we may never understand, or for at least a long time, but I do know that he is with us all forever. I do know the joy and innocence within him lives eternally. There is nothing I wish more for you guys than the strength and peace of God in your hearts for the rest of your days and an unshakable knowing he is always with you. We will all be together again and happiness awaits all of us. I miss and love you all so much. Miss my little Buddy so much <3

Matthew 5:4 – Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Jimmy, Danielle and Taylor: I am so very sorry for your loss and for the grief and sadness that you all are suffering. There are just no adequate words, so I begin and end my message with God's Word. Draw on His strength. I have thought of you all almost every moment and I am praying for all of you. I want you to know that I looked forward to seeing Jeremy's smile especially every time we were together for Uncle Ed's birthdays. He was very special to me. Always interested in what Billy was up to. I will continue to pray that God's grace and peace be with you all today, tomorrow and always. I love you so very much. ~Auntie Marilyn

Jeremy you were one of a kind. I will treasure all of our memories together and I will miss you more than you know. I'm so lucky I got to spend those moments with you and got to know such a beautiful soul. Now everyone has the best guardian angel they could ever ask for. Thank you for being such a positive and joyful influence in my life. I love you very much. Sestito family- you definitely know how to raise 'em. I know this is an irreplaceable loss, but I know he is going to be with you in every possible way. He shined too bright here on earth not to be the brightest angel in heaven. <3

Jeremy was such a special person. He was kind, caring, funny and loved His family more than anything in this world. Jimmy and Danielle you have to be so proud. You have raised two fantastic children. For some reason God chose to take Jeremy early. We will never know why. There are no words that will make you feel better and there is nothing anyone can do to help. You all have such a long road ahead of you. I wish with all of my heart that I could make it all better. Hold each other tightly and take one day at a time. I love you all so much. I am so sorry. Love, Aunt Carla
