Katie, I am so sorry to hear about Jeremy. Jeremy was in the class behind me at Purdue. We were both involved in Kappa Psi, where I really got to know him. We shared a lot of great times at Purdue. He was an outstanding friend, fraternity brother and pharmacist. I will be keeping you and your family in my prayers.

To Jeremy's family, sorry for your loss. Jeremiah 29:11, 12 assures us that God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope, and that if we come and pray to Him, He will listen to us. May that bring you comfort at this difficult time.
