goodmorning jeremy mom here
today is your brothers big party with your uncle brian, he is now 25 the age you were when you went away.It is still so hard cant talk to your dad about you at all i loose it. he misses you also and thinks about you every day. he himself has been real sick and not worked for about 4 months hopeing he gets better. the years of smoking finally caught up with him and why you 2 boys ever started i dont no. but good news jared and your dad both have quit together. jared is moving into his own home soon so it will be real lonely here. i think about september by the time he gets some painting done and a few other things . well got to go for now i think of you always talk to you but only if you could talk back. love mom

Hope you can look down and help Bill tomorrow. He is moving furniture at my office and you know the last time it happened you told the old men to move and you lifted the end of the credenza yourself. I remember the ladies at the office were so afraid you would strain something. But you made it look so easy while Bill and Brad grunted and struggled with their end. So I know he appreciate alittle help

September 15, 2007

thought about you today when we were talking about chickens. Remembering the day that you came home with Bill to help catch the chickens Jenny had raised and we were giving to Sandy Lester. Bill got the last chicken and it pooped down his leg, I thought you were going to bust a gut laughing. Sandy, Julie, Jenny and I hid our laughs from Bill, But you laughed right in his face and said you knew you could out run the old man if he got mad. I think he said you laughed all the way to town and couldn't wait to retell the story to everyone.

here it is september 14 already your dad and i took a trip to iowa for the rodeo which we hadnt done in about 4 years. we took you when you were almost 5 you rode with your dad in the big parade which was a very long one. everyone we were camping with told us not to that you were too little and wouldnt make it that long. you got the last laugh because when we got back to the camp you got on your dads big horse and continued to ride and everyone else was tired out.your brother had to fix his girlfriends brakes last week and made a commit i hope i can do these this time jeremy had to help me out i couldnt figure them out and he isnt here to help me this time. its little things like this that bring you back to us even if it is just in memories. i still miss you very much and will always love you. your mom

We little knew that morning,
God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

April 2, 2007

I get comfort knowing that Tiff has a friend. I am so sorry that he is gone and wish I could say more to help the heartache, but I still can't figure out how to fix my own. I used to sit behind Jeremy in Science my junior year of high school. He would always get into trouble for talking to Scott, Amanda Guzman, and I. He always had something funny to say. And one time that Tiff actually got me downtown he was there and bought me a drink and told me I looked good. He had a very warm heart. I wish I could make myself understand why all the good ones go first. Take care.

Chuck & DeGala,
With spring on the way I thought of Jeremy when I was visiting Bill at work on Tuesday. Everyone was picking on each other and I thought I saw Jeremy's face just giving that grin and laughing at them. Now is the time Bill and I think of him the most.
He left a big impression on us.

Brie and Jeremy Nighsonger

March 21, 2007

We have had many of memories with Jeremy. One of the most memorable times was one of the many times he would ride the mechanical bull in Sparland. My sister actually wrote an article in the NewsTribune about the bull riding experience. Jeremy was one of the people she interviewed. Months later he saw us out and he pulled that article from his wallet. He was so proud of it, which he should have been. He is greatly missed.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Hi to all who wrote in jeremys book this has been such a comfort to me just to read them and look at it every day. there hasnt been anything new but that doesnt stop me i still have a need to read them over and over. most of you say the same thing about his honery grin or smile that was just him.he always told me momma dont worry i can take care of myself when he would leave and i was giving him a hard time. one regret i have that he loved to sing careoke i never did hear him.i keep waiting for him to walk through the door and i no that will not happen. i no that tiff is up there with him and met him at the gates with one of her big hugs,i no that also after all of these years jeremy is with his little brother again. i love them both so much and i just thank god i got to have them in my life even if only for a short time. poor jared i keep telling everyone i am bubble wrapping him and putting in a safe place but we all no he wouldnt stand for that. i guess i better get off of here mainly i wanted to thankyou all . love ya degala

On a warm and starry night a young woman was walking through a park looking for her life. She came to a picnic table where a young man sat alone looking up at the stars. She stoped asked him why he was there. I'm looking for my life in the stars he replied. When he looked down from the stars and into her eyes they both knew they had found what it was they were looking for. Hand in hand they began their journey. In time they had 3 daughters which were their greatest joy. The daughters grew to be young woman and they began searching for their life. One by one they each walked away hand in hand with a young man on their own lifes journey. The mother and father were sad and lonely at first, but soon found that the young men where sons of their hearts. They had given their daughters a great gift, they had lead them to road of their lifes, they had helped them find their way. Jeremy was the third young man that came into our lives and we will forever be greatful for our time with him. He is a joy and a blessing that can never be taken from the hearts he filled with such love. Our hearts go out to Dee, Chuck and family, he will always live in your hearts.

Godspeed, Jeremy Kimble
Sweet dreams,
Our love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed,
Sweet dreams

God Bless,
John and Debra Pasdik
