My favorite thing about you was your love of hip-hop that you passed down to me. From Mob Deep to Nas, Outkast to Mase, Jay-Z to Missy, Fab to Cam, you will and always have the greatest hip-hop collection.
Right before you got sick, you showed us all Ye before college drop out even dropped and owned every color of every polo imaginable.
You taught me so much about love. And to not be afraid to be my weird, goofy, and nerdy self. Now that Im at Howard, I feel you presence around me, within me. You are my guardian angel and I am so thankful for everything that you are.
I love you so deep. Forever. One

Happy Birthday Jeremy. I know you are watching us from Heaven and we are so delighted to share a moment in time with you Spiritually. We have not met you on this side, but thank God for giving us His Son Jesus, which had made this message possible.

Today, June 9, 2014 is Jeremy's 27th birthday. I woke up happy because of the wonderful gift I was given on this day 27 years ago. My Jeremy enriched my life in so many ways. Happy Birthday my sweet son. You are a love of my life and I thank GOD for your loving spirit. You were one of the sweetest, kindest persons I have ever known. You made me a better person! I am happy today because you lived!
Love Mom

Thinking of you as I see the students graduating from school. I can see your face as I yelled out your name at your graduation and you looked at me, with the exasperated expression "Oh Mom"! I am laughing just thinking of that moment. Miss you sweetie.

I just read the note from the Odell family, our former neighbors many years ago. I laugh heartily thinking of Jeremy and Ryan teaming up to rule our street. Jeremy loved Ryan because he handled things! Thank you so much for thinking of us during the holidays. It is a tough time for us and we cherish those who think of us. I extend my condolences to you and your sister's family for your heartbreaking loss. Really, no loss is as deep! Love to you all.

I am watching the Michigan Sweet 16 game today and thinking of you. I am writing this note now because I have escaped to the computer since Michigan is behind. You know I can't handle the pressure when my team is losing. I lol thinking of how many times you called me a chicken for leaving a game during the tough moments. Your brother is watching the game in person at the stadium in Arlington, Texas and I know you would probably be with him at the game if you were here with us. It is now halftime and I believe that Michigan can pull it out. M Go Blue!

Love you Jer!

I don't know who entered the entry on December 24th, 2012, but it brought me great joy. Thank you for helping a mother push forward after such a devastating loss. My sweet Jeremy!!!

Jeremy, I think of you everyday.
June 13, 2012
Your friend M.C. contacted me today in honor of your birthday. He said you both had June birthdays and you always contacted each other in June. I miss you so much. I saw a little boy walking with his mom moments ago and I thought of you as I so often do. I smiled thinking of you. This is such a heavy burden not having you here to see and touch, but I move on, as I must. Your sister is preparing for college and I can't help but think of how excited you were to go to Howard University. I am so glad you got to attend the college of your choice. Our family is so blessed. I am listening to one of my favorites songs as I think of you, my baby boy, the one and only Jeremy Marcel Ross!!! Your 25th birthday on June 9, 2012 was special.
May 24, 2012
Jer Jer I was thinking of you as we prepare for your sister's graduation from Clements High School a week from now. It is so hard to believe that your baby sister is leaving high school. She is moving on to the Ivy League. You called this accomplishment so many years ago. You knew your sister was a trailblazer. Your dad finished his Ph.D and is now Dr. Ross. We are moving forward just as you want us to. You are with us. I feel you, just as I did when you lived within me so many years ago. You are still my sweet baby boy!!! Kiss D-Man and Grandmommy for me. I love you all!!!

A lots happened since we last talked after the Michigan-ND game a few octobers ago. I almost texted your number out of habit after they played this year. I miss talking about life with you man. Feel like I'm growing up without you. I'll make sure I get out there to feed the ducks for you next week. PEace.

Your friend Kojo Minta died on August 10, 2011. This deeply saddened me. I remember when you were in Algebra together, then graduates from Clements heading off to Howard University and the University of Pennsylvania. I remember how excited you were at the prospect of both you and KojO being in D.C. together, when he first planned to attend Georgetown University. He later got accepted at Penn and that ended the hoped for possibility of D.C. fun. You liked Kojo, and so did I, simply because you thought so highly of him. I am sad that you have both left this earth, but how wonderful you two young men are! I know that you both still live and I hope you have welcomed Kojo to a new home. I don't know what you know about heaven, but I am certain you are happy and enjoying being with our LORD. I love you so much and always will. You are my baby boy, the one and only, Jeremy Marcel Ross. I asked the LORD this morning to hug you for me.
Love, Mom

Your sister is at your beloved Howard University attending an engineering camp in honor of you!! Imagine that! She is walking the grounds you traveled just a few years ago. We are so proud of her for wanting to walk in your "big" footsteps. Tomorrow is the 4th of July and your dad and I are probaly going to celebrate quietly at home, since your brother and sister are not here. We miss you always. There is no one like you. Your sweet kindness is so etched in my heart. Love you deeply,
Mom

Phyliss, Ralph & Kids,
The light that flows from your hearts is so warm, loving, and truly inspiring. I know that light has grown more intense over the past year. Jeremy continues to be a miracle touching and blessing the lives of so many. Like a pebble tossed in the pool of life, the ripple continues ownward. Keep sharing. Keep believing. Keep loving, and most of all, keep living.
March 27, 2011
Words are inadequate to describe the loss we feel. You are deeply missed.

September 20, 2010
Dear LORD this is so hard, but we trust that your word is true; that you are near to the broken hearted. Your closeness is the only way that we can breathe and move on!
September 17, 2010
We miss your smile, your compassionate spirit and your witty sense of humor. There is nobody like you!!

Phyllis, thinking of you and Jeremy today. It is impossible for me to measure the pain you're experiencing. True understanding of a loss can only come through a heart that has suffered the same. God's heart can fully empathize with yours. He understand the pain of losing a child, He sees the questions in your mind, and He feels the depth of your grief. Keeping you in prayer so you can feel His compassion and nearness in this difficult time. Standing in the gap for you doing this time, that God will give you the peace that only He can give. Only with Jesus will you be able to remember Jeremy's smile, laughter, ways, and saying without the pain. Love you, and your family Ralph, Jason, & Jillian.
Your friend, Juanita Thomas

Your dad and I went to the Maxwell/Jill Scott concert on your birthday and I thought about how you told me to "live Mom" and do some new things. Jason bought the concert tickets in your honor to help us do something out of the ordinary. Your birthday was a good day and I thought about you non-stop as I do most days. During the concert, I thought how happy you are that I am doing some new things. You were one of the sweetest most upbeat persons I have ever known. I am doing my best to figure out how to live without you by my side, but I carry on as I know you expect me to do. It is very hard, but I continue to get up when I fall down. Every day is a challenge to breath and I love you more each day. The pain of your loss is so intense, but the joy of being your Mom is so joyous!! You and I will always be connected.

No more agony, no more pain; Cause Jesus has gently whispered your name. Not a time to cry; but a time to rejoice knowing we all have a choice Jeremy, we'll miss you and love you dearly. But in the presence of the Lord you are forever near, you did your due and fought your fight. Now you are at peace, and God is always right, so go on Jeremy and take your rest. Sure we love you! But God loves you best.

Jeremy:
Your light still shines brightly amongst us.

I miss you Jeremy and look forward to the day when we can reunite in heaven.
You are always with me. I know that you are at peace and safe in the presence of the LORD.
Love You Always!

When the Lord called Jeremy home, He left a gift of memories in exchange. Jeremy will forever be in my thoughts and heart as a small child in his cousin's wedding or on Holiday break from Howard University discussing his job possibilities. He will be remembered and loved forever.

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.
-Anon.

You're loved by so very many and missed by all. I was deeply saddened by your death but am estatic that you lived.

(Jeremy's words expressed in this beautiful poem)
WEEP NOT FOR ME
Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.
Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.
I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you. I will share your tears, your joys, your fears, your disappointments and your triumphs.
Do not weep for me, for I am cradled
in the arms of God. I walk with the angels, and hear the music beyond the stars.
Do not weep for me, for I am within you;
I am peace, love, I am a soft wind that caresses the flowers. I am the calm that follows a raging storm. I am an autumns leaf that floats among the garden of God, and I am pure white snow that softly falls upon your hand.
Do not weep for me, for I shall never die, as long as you remember me...
with a smile and a sigh.

Jeremy, the best memory I have of you was when you were a little boy and in the back seat of the car with me impersonating a preacher. You had the characteristic baptist preacher rhetoric mastered! It was H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S!! I can't remember how old you were or even where we were going, but the fake sweating, wiping of the forehead with the imaginary hankercheif, and labored breathing was one for the record books!

To the Ross Family,
God must have needed another angel because he called Jeremy home. None of us know the date, time or place of our departure; however, we are reassured by our faith that we will one day "...dwell in the house of the Lord forever." Psalm 23
I know that it is difficult now, but reflect on the words of James as you endure: "Blessed is anyone who perseveres when trials come. Such a person is of proven worth and will win the prize of life, the crown that the Lord has promised to those who love him." James 1:12
May God's peace be with you always.

Jeremy, I am sitting at the computer working on a client's case thinking about our discussions about the legal profession. I laugh remembering how you described lawyers as "paid hired guns" (you used more graphic language that I have softened to keep things polictically correct). I reminded you often that Howard University was an expensive school and it was all about paying "tuition". I was so proud of the work you did at Howard University. You and your brother and sister have made me so proud. I am trying to talk your sister into considering Howward, but as you so succintly reminded me, your sister is more of a "Georgetown" girl and Howard would not be the right fit for her. You loved Howard and so do I!

I am sad that you are no longer here with us, but I am glad that you are at rest in the place we all hope to be someday: Heaven with our Lord and Savior. Your legacy will live on through all of us and I thank you for teaching me that life is too short not to be the best that I can be in everything that I do.
I Love You

Jeremy, you were such a joy to me! I remember dropping you off at Howard University and how excited you were that we were finally leaving. Your Dad, Jason, Jillian and I had bought the stores out in Virginia and Maryland, and you didn't need another thing. I remember having to make one final stop at the D.C. Radio Shack to get some wiring for your computer, that may or may not have been needed, just to spend one more second with you. Then it was time to head off and leave you at Drew Hall with all the other freshman men, many of whom, I found so delightful. You loved Howard University so much, and so do I for the joy you experienced there. Love Mom.
