Jeremy you have touched our lives in so many ways. Your spirit lives in Lee Center - on the roads (roller blading); on the basketball court (at Aunt Jud's); on my couch with Alyssa; in my yard (especially outside Alyssa's window) and in all of our hearts. You will never be forgotten. Your memory lives on and always will. We will love you forever Jeremy!!!!! Sherry Ann

Dear Family of Jeremy

We are so deeply saddened by the news that Jeremy has died. Jeremy has always been a special part of our family. We shared many life experiences together. We laughed, we cried, we talked about life. There were many wonderful conversations back and forth from Boonville to AVA. We will always remember him with love.
