I can not believe I am just hearing about this. Meatball and I were friends in hight school. I know he's looking down on everyone with that smile he always had on his face

To the Sullivan Family,

You are in my thoughts each day and I hope time will only ease the pain for you. I had the opportunity to babysit Jeremy and I have so many funny memories of what him and his brothers did to me. He will be missed. He is watching over you and there will always be memories.

Dear Sullivan Family & Jeremy's friends,

I know words can not dull the feeling of loss you have or make things better, but I want you to know that your family has been in my thoughts and prayers. I wanted to share this poem with you that was shared this year with me after a loss....

Afterglow

I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one,

I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when day is gone.

I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,

Of happy times, and laughing times, and bright and sunny days.

I'd like the tears of those who grive to dry before the sun,

Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.

Take Care,

Raeanne Orihuela

Dear Bob,Gerry,Bobby&John:

Please know that your family is in our hearts at this very sad time in your lives. We wish we could say the magic words to make it all better and bring Jeremy back to you and everyone that loves him. We didn't know him well but I swear everytime I saw him I always did a doubletake to get a look at that amazing curly hair and how it had multiplied since the last time I had seen him.(haha) I am sure that he is surrounded by all of the women up there in Heaven wanting to know what his secret is for those beautiful curls! I know that Jeremy will forever be smiling down on all of you and bringing sunshine to your darkest days.

God Bless!

Jeremy..where to begin? I have so many memories from growing up with you..working at your mom's diner, the time you rode my horses! You are an amazing person whom I was blessed to know. You are good hearted and always fun to be around! I will miss you so much but I know one day I will see you again. To all of those you left behind, my love and prayers are with you.

Dear Jeremy,

As i sit here today writing in this small box, trying to find the right words to say, im smiling. You always made me smile. You made everyone smile, and giggle, and laugh to the point where they had cramps in there stomachs. It's hard to remember just one good moment with you, because there were so many. I wish there could have been more. I remember the last time we hung out like it was yesturday. I remember i didn't want to sit in the back seat with you, hehe, because i was afraid there might be something growing in that crazyyy hair do of yours and i didn't wanna catch it ;) I wish i could rewind back to that moment. It was fun, even though I forced you to go to the mall, you know you had fun. And how about those doritos you ate at BJ's hehe. We are all reminded of what fun we had with you Jeremy. You deffinetly left a last impression on so many people. It was so sad to see you go, and its still sad to know that you had to go so early in life. But I know as well as everyone else that your 21 years were better than somes 100 years. To Gerry, Bob, Bobby, and Meatball...I can't stress enough how sorry I am for your loss, I am here for any of you always, only a phone call away. To everyone whom enjoyed several special moments with Jeremy, Live life to the fullest, and dont let life pass you by, weep not for the memories, and know that just because Jeremy is not physically here, he will live on with us forever in our hearts.

WE MISS YOU JEREMY...

BE GOOD UP THERE!

Love always ~Lynda

Gerry,Bob,Bobby,John...Words can't even begin to express the saddness that comes over so many of us every time we think of Jeremy and what happened. Then in the next instant the biggest smile comes over us when we think of one of the many wonderful things that he did in his 21 years with us. I didn't really know Jeremy that well and anytime I saw him he put a smile on my face, there is not a lot of people in this world that can do that to so many people...He was and is a special person and you guys helped to make him who he was and always will be.Our thoughts are with you always, be strong and know that he will always be there with you whether you can see him or not..

Gerry, Bob, Bobby, and John, We are all so sorry about your terrible loss, we will think of your family always and remember all the happy memories we shared in the past. Lets not be strangers.

Love always Dave, Barb, Lance, Lynda and David

Jeremy,

If I had to choose one word to describe you, it would definitely be 'Inspiring'. For being such a young man, you were truly in touch with life. The obvious bond that you shared with your friends and family is absolutely amazing. I have seen, heard and learned so much about who you were that there is no doubt, you will NEVER be forgotten.

Bob, Gerry, Sully and Meatball, there are no words that we could possible say to ease the pain. Just know that we are here, always.

PS. Jeremy, Vinnie says "STUD, what's goin' on up there?"

PSS. Cool job on the lights!

Missing your smile,

Vinnie and Debbie Spiezio

Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy,

I love you so much! Thank god you know that now. I miss you so much. I thank your mother so, so, so, much for your life. I thank your entire family, and especially you, for letting me be a part of it all. You and I may not have been each others best friends, but I know with my entire heart and soul, that you are the best friend I will ever know. You are the last person I ever, ever, wanted to lose. Whenever I met a new person, I always wanted them to meet my friend Jeremy. I was so proud to have you as my friend! You know why, I don't have to say. You and your family mean so much to me. Without all of our friends, BUT MOST OF ALL YOUR FAMILY, I would never have been able to get through this. I thank god that you now know how much everyone loves you now. I know you always knew what you meant to me. But now, you have heard it over and over again. And you will hear it for the rest of my life. I love you Wormy. I will think of you always and forever!!! I will never forget you. I'll see you when I see you. I will be at your house, take care of us all. I don't think they are ready for you up there, so go easy on them! I love you forever! Anyone, please call me if you need a hug or an ear. I need you too! Love Erika. 222-1161

Well Jer Bear, what can I say, it was the greatest of pleasures to be your friend, you brought so much joy to me and my family especially my little mini-me. I will remember you always and think of you often, every time I see a low rider truck or a roll of duct tape or hear a Bloodhound Gang song I will be taken back to one of your hilarious pranks and memories. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, well looking over the hundreds of photos we all gathered to remember you this week brings to mind another saying, a picture is worth a thousand laughs. I could not look at one without a smile coming to my face. We love you forever.

Save me a seat up there.......J

Bob and family,

I am so sorry of your loss. Jeremy was a great person and he sure knew how to make everyone laugh. In the short time that I had to start to get to know him I could tell he was truly an amazing person. I never saw him without a bright smile on his face. As he always asked me to do... I will always smile for him every day. My heart is with you all during this time.

Well Jeremy I know as I sit here and write this you are sitting here watching over me (as you have showed in many ways already). I can't say how much I am going to miss your jokes and stories and of course your hair. As we have seen in the last couple days you have touched many,many people. Each and every person I have seen has a different Jeremy Story (some I shouldn't hear of course). Never forget " YOU BETTER BRING A FRIEND" because you did, you brought hundreds so I am glad you never took me up on my offer I may have been in trouble. Again I will always miss you and Love you very much. And I am sure where you are now there is a place for a hair cut so please feel free. I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH JEREMY NEVER FORGET

Oh, how that wonderful, quirky smile will be missed! Your family will miss all your pranks and jokes, so let them know once in awhile that you are O.K. We all got your sign last night when the lights went out and oh, what a beautiful full moon was out tonight--a sure sign that you are shining brightly up above us all. Thank you for touching all our lives in your own special way and for giving the "Ma" from Shushan some of the best dances she ever had! You are now in a better place than all of us, so take care of your family and know that you are loved and will be missed. To Gerry, Bob, Bobby and John--you have my love, support and prayers and know that I am always only a phone call away. Love, "Ma" Gilchrist, Amy and Kelly
