My dear cousin Jeremy,
I know you were born with a broken heart, but it was more than "perfect" to all of us who were blessed to have had the amazing opportunity to know you. You've always been a huge inspiration to me and will continue to be throughout my life. You hold a special place in my heart and I'm going to miss you like crazy along with all of your sound advice too. To my aunt, uncle, and cousins who have lost their son and brother; Words can't express how sorry I am for the pain you're going through. Stay close to each other during this time, it really does help to be near family. I pray for peace and comfort for all of you.
Lots of love,

Jeremy, you were one of my closest friends in college, you introduced me to my husband and you were there with me at the temple for the first time. Your smile brightened my world and I will always be grateful for our friendship. The world has lost a light and you will be missed terribly.

Shock is the word that we experienced when Heidi called with the news. Cindy and family we are so sorry for Jeremy's loss. Thank heavens we know and understand the plan of Salvation.
