So very sorry to hear the news. Just now learned about it and it comes as quite a shock. Jeremy and his family lived next to me at Myrtle Beach, and he was a wonderful young man. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Time does heal....

I am sorry that I didn't get the chance to say goodbye to you. I wish I told you how much you meant to me. I remember when I first met you. You were in the back office, and you told me who you were. Then you showed me things to remember what i needed to know when I was asking questions to people in the back of the ambulance. I always liked working with you. Whenever I got the chance to work with you I was happy. I always tried to stay like so I could get a look at you....lol. I thought you were really good looking. Yes you did save lives. You were good at what you did. I looked up to you for advice. Thanx for everything you have taught me. I will never forget you. Thanx for everything. You are now resting in peace now.

Jeremy: Your more Special than you know to your famiy and friends, your jokes, your smile, your crazy playing with your baby cousins at Leigh"s party showing them how to splash each other and you in that little pool of water and getting each other and you soaking wet, they had so much fun playing with you, and it was so much fun just watching guys. The talks we had when you were younger you made me feel so special.The dance you and Jason did together can't remember the song but you guys were so funny!The time you and your father walked over to my office when I worked in the hospital you rolling your IV and the two of you smiling came to tell me your surgery would be that afternoon, I worried, but you guys didn't seem to let it bother you still cracking jokes. Jeremy I've loved you all your life and I will continue to love you forever. Your pain is gone but you will never be gone from my heart, and thoughts. Rest in Peace baby boy, You are now an Angel and I can only imagine how your gonna shake up the Angel world with your antics!! You'll make that a Happy Place!!!! I Love you sweetie Won't say Bye cause your alive and well in my heart.

To the family,
I played football with Jeremy and was in a few classes with him. Although we were "friends" on Myspace, I haven't spoken to him in years...I wish I had... Jeremy was the one to call LifeStar for me after my crash. Then, while in the hospital, he gave me a gift that I still have today. So, we may not have been close pals, I still considered him a good friend. He will be missed.
My condolences,
shaun boske

Dear Russell Family,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. We understand the pain of losing a child, it is something no words can describe. It has been a year since we lost Ryan, and I wish I could tell you it gets better, but it just gets "different". Focus on the good times to let him always be able to put a smile on your face. Please know that Jeremy was an incredible young man, we are deeply indebted to him forever for his quick thinking and calling Life Star for Shaun. It was amazing, and we could never thank him enough for that! Take care of yourselves.

To Deb and Family,
My heart goes out to you in this very sad time! Lean on God for all your strength to carry you through this dark valley...He is hurting with you, and promises you healing, hope and love as He walks with you.
Here is one of my favorite Psalms to help you:
Psalm 121
A song of ascents.
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
God Bless you all! Love, Eloise P.(OSLC Member)
