Dearest Jeremy, Precious Oldest Child of Our Family,
We are coming up on the 10 year mark since you left us, but you are still remembered every day with SO much love and with deep gratefulness for the years that God loaned you to us. We miss you oh-so-very-much, but we are grateful beyond expression that you are safe at Home in Heaven with Jesus, forever well and rejoicing! We look forward to a day when we will look into your eyes and embrace you again in Christ's Presence--what a joyous reunion that will be! Until then, we are thankful for God's glorious, forever mercies that will live longer than our darkest sorrows!
With hearts full and overflowing with love,
Dad and Mom

In looking up my family name I found this obituary & felt compelled to write:I had an uncle and cousin John and my father's name was Robert. Though this is late, I am sorry to read of this young man's passing. My cousins are Donna, JoAnn, John & Jerry.
I know you are all of strong faith. God bless you.

Dear Drobnick Family (esp. April and children),
During the summer of 1995, Jeremy shared a dorm room with me and another friend (Mark) at Palm Beach Atlantic College -- we were working with a summer youth program called "Mission Fuge" and then with PBA for summer maintenance.
I haven't been in touch with Jeremy since then, but have often wondered about him. I just found out about his passing this afternoon.
My heart goes out to you all, and I pray that God carries you through as you continue on with life and bringing up your family.
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Warmest regards...

To the Drobnick Family,
Our sincerest condolences. We heard the news of your loss and were in shock and disbelief as Jeremy seems too young to already be gone. In our minds, I suppose, he will forever be a teenager. Our hearts go out to you and we pray that the God of all comfort blesses you with his perfect peace and strength during this time. Praying for each of you and wishing you God's Grace and Blessings! Craig and Debbie Rice

To Matthew Drobnick & Family:
I was so sorry to hear about the passing of your brother. Words always fall so far short in expressing the depth of empathy we feel for you in this difficult time. May you rest in the awesome peace and presence of Christ and His Spirit. May His promises comfort you and your family.

Dear April,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your husband. He was one of my best friends in high school. We were partners in choir, and spent a lot of time together. He was such a good friend to me. I just wanted you to know that you and your children have been in my thoughts everyday since I heard the news of his passing. I wish that I could help ease the pain you and your family are going through right now. Take care. Sincerely, Michelle (Nelson) Walton

To Our Precious, Precious Son, Jeremy James,
Oh how we love you and oh how we will miss you! We do not sorrow for you--we know you are safe, well, at peace, finally Home with the Saviour Who loves you so faithfully. Our anguish is for those of us who love you so deeply and will have to learn to live for a few years on this earth without you in our lives.
We'll be there soon and we know you will be there to greet us and show us around the glories of Heaven!
We'll love you forever,
Mom and Dad

Dear April and family,
I have always felt blessed to have known you and have been touched and strengthened myself by the level of faith in Christ I have witnessed in you and your family. My children were blessed to have been a part of your Bible school this summer and I am grateful for the Christen charity you showed all of us.
Our hearts and prayers are fervently with you in this time of pain. May God guide you and keep you and your famiily close in your time of sorrow.
Therefore we do not lose heart.
Though outwardly we are wasting away,
yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
For our light and momentary troubles
are achieving for us an eternal glory
that far outweighs them all.
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen,
but on what is unseen.
For what is seen is temporary,
but what is unseen is eternal.
-- 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (New International Version)
