To the Family:

I meet Jeremiah about four years ago and I just told him he needed to stay out the mall in Hattiesburg and he said "when you do!" He always was smiling and I know that he is watching over you and telling you it will be ok. My prayers go out to you and if there is anything I can do just ask!

Marty,

I was very touched about your son. I remember when he was a baby and we worked together at Dr. Irons. Always remember that God makes no mistakes and that he wants to surround himself with good people and angels. In the midst of your sadness,find it an honor that you were Blessed to have him as your son. Find comfort in knowing that God will take care of you and your family.

To Cherrae and Atiya...You are both in my heart always, just like Jeremiah. I am so sorry that I can't be with you on Tuesday. I am also very, very sorry that you're having to go through all of this. Jeremiah, I'm sure, is in Heaven smiling down at us wishing we wouldn't all be so sad. Please know that my thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family.
