promising to never part

but it didnt end up that way
i love you was all we could say

our paths would meet
and our hearts skipped a beat

why couldnt you pull through?

Jeremy,
It's been almost 3 months and i still cant believe it. I know you're looking down on me and you're keeping me safe. You have sent me an angel and I'm so thankful. I will see you when I get up there. Wait for me at the gates! I Love You!!!!!

I hope that u remember your younger days in Hempstead on Patterson Avenue, because I do. You and your family lived right next door to us, and my sister and I would ring your bell every morning to play with u and Brian. Its unfortunate to know that your presence is no longer with us. You were a cool kid then, and I could just imagine the man u had grown into. My heart goes out to u and yours. I'll see u when I get there and maybe we'll look for worms and play in mud together.xoxoxo100 Patterson ave

Jeremy your Sprit will Live On.
O'Dearest Lady, sweer Mother mine, watch the hour when my departing soul shall lose its hold on all earthly things, and stand unveil in the presence of its Creator. Show thyself my tender Mother then, and offer to the Eternal Father the precious blood of thy Son Jesus for my poor soul, that it may, thus purified, be pleasing in His sight. Pled for thy poor child at the moment of his departure from this world, and say to the heavenly Father: Receive him this day into thy Kingdom! Amen.

MY LITTLE BROTHER FROM ANOTHER MOTHER, I WILL THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY. I HAVE YOUR PICTURE AROUND MY NECK SO I CAN SEE YOU EVERYDAY. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WITH ME. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR SMILE AND THE WAY YOU MADE EVERYBODY LAUGH WITH ALL YOUR STUPID JOKES. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER ALL THE TIMES WHEN YOU CAME HOME AND WE WOULD SIT IN THE BACK ROOM AND DRINK UNTIL 5 OR 6 IN THE MORNING. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART AND IN MY THOUGHTS AND IN MY PRAYERS. I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER MY LIL BRO.

Jeremy,
I wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas... This is surely a Christmas I could never forget. I still can't believe you're gone. I'm just waiting for you to call me and say "Hey, I'm outside. Let me in!" But, unfortunately I know it's not going to happen. I hope you're looking down on me and I pray for you and your family everyday! I finished the song so hopefully I record it soon and you will hear it... I LOVE YOU <3 and I always will.....FOREVER!

Baby you can not imagine how much i miss you. You were my everything. You gave me so much strength and having been with you will have changed my life forever. I wish we could have spent the rest of our lives together and made both of our dreams come true, but God had other plans for you and i am counting on you now to watch over me and keep me safe, just like you always did. I will never forget you and the love that we shared. You were the one. I love you so much always no matter how far.

And,Bebe misses her daddy. She sends her love.

Jeremy,
Where do I start? I've known you since I was 12. I grew up always being around you! I'll alway remember the good times. It's hard to know the one person who ever loved me and cared about me for is gone. I have never felt so heart broken in my entire life. I always said if you or your family ever needed anything I'm here and I will keep my promise. I LOVE YOU and I ALWAYS WILL!!! I started writing you a song since I know how much you loved my singing so I figured I'd write what I have so far. I hope you like it <3

God took you away
There is nothing I can say
That could make you come back home.
And I pray every day
That there could be some way
I would see you calling on my phone.
It's hard to think of you
And all the things we used to do
Now I feel so alone.
This is so hard to believe
And it's hard for me to breathe
Don't want to tell myself you're gone.

Knowing you, you'd say to be strong
We've been trying all along.
It's so hard not to feel pain
I cry when someone says your name.
Knowing you, you'd say you're safe
Now you're in a better place.
It's so hard not to feel pain
Without you life just ain't the same.

You were my first true love
Now you're my angel sent from above
I know you're looking down on me.
When I think about your smile
I feel better for a little while
But it hurts to know I'll never see.
I'll never see your face again
Until my life comes to an end
Then I know with you I'll always be.
You're forever in my heart
Even though we're far apart
Just don't forget to watch over me.

Knowing you, you'd say to be strong
We've been trying all along.
It's so hard not to feel pain
I cry when someone says your name.
Knowing you, you'd say you're safe
Now you're in a better place.
It's so hard not to feel pain
Without you life just ain't the same.


That's it for now. When it is finished i will definitely type it up for you. I promised your sister a copy after I record it so you will see it and hear it! I LOVE YOU JEREMY DRAPER...

Im going to miss his laugh and him sticking his tounge out all the time.I love you jeremy and i will miss you everyday but i will always have you in my heart and no one can take that away. I will talk about u all the time to jonjon and keep your memory alive. I miss you my turtle, but one day we will be together again. My prayers are with your mother and your brothers and sister.

Oh Jeremy,
growing up you were there, teased me and looked out for me. i wont ever forget what you did for my sister and the way you made me feel like i was one of yours. I cant remember an instant you werent smiling, making someone smile..like so many have said already. you had an outlook on life that everyone should take notes on..man you just had that way about you, people wanted to be your friend, or have that attitude you had. you had it..a gift. i wont ever forget you, your crazy hair you loved to change, your goofy smile which was always so contagious..and your sense of making people feel like they were family.
& now youre a memory living with me forever
i pray you're somewhere better, happy forever..watch out for us.

Jeremy-
I dont know where to start...this is the first time where thinking of you makes me sad....I know we lost touch over the years but you were never truly forgotten and you never will be for as long as I live. You played a part in my life that was happy and fun....you always knew how to put a smile on my face. You would light up a room the moment you stepped in it...You had a gift...you made people happy...your memory will live on in me and every life you touched. Rest in peace and without pain and one day we'll meet again.

TO those that remember Jeremy:

You were a friend of my daughter Joyia, and I will always recall the smile and quite way you respected me as an adult when in my home. Although it is a tragedy of your young life ending so soon, it is more important to remember that you lived and touched the lives of all that called you friend in your 23 years .

May your family and friends find peace in remembering you forever in their hearts .I pray that you will eternally be loved, free and at rest with God .

I was only his roomate for a couple of months but he became one of my very good friends. It was certainly not his time but I know he lived a good life and he did a lot in those short 23 years. He was loved dearly by many and I am one of those people. My love goes out to his family, girlfriend, and many of friends. May he rest in peace and always be in our hearts. I love ya brother.
