I think about you every single day and usually shed a tear or two. Some days are easier than others but I always try and stay strong. One day I will see you again and then we can embrace like we used too when I would come to visit. In a few weeks we will have a family re-union and we will all think about you in our on ways as we honor your memory. I will never forget all the times we spent playing sports with each other or video games, yes those are my good times these days. Your memory will be forever embedded in my thoughts, so remember I am always thinking of you my brother. Love you!

August 2, 2010

Jeremy,
I wish Heaven had a phone so we could hear your voice again. We thought of you today, but that is nothing new. We thought of you yesterday; and the days before that too. We think of you in silence, we often speak your name. All we have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake from which we will never part. God has you in his arms; we have you in our hearts.

I first met Opie at the soccer fields a couple of years ago and my first impression was: Man, this guy has energy! Like so many others have mentioned, he was always smiling and running hard. I'll never forget the day he played in a tournament with us and afterwards tells me, "Well, gotta go so I can make my basketball game." Amazing... his personality and energy will be missed by all of my teammates.

Opie always had a smile and hug for me when he came to visit Joshua and and at the bon fires at New Years Eve and I still got those hugs after he graduated when we saw him. He will be truly missed and I'll remember all the good times and he was a fine young man. Your family is in my thougts and prayers. The Bercegeays, Sandy, Andy, Meredith & Joshua

Opie was a good friend of my son, Justin Gaudin. He was a kind, gentle and thoughtful young man. He was always ready and willing to help us when we were in need. A tree crushed my house during Katrina and he was there to help move our belongings out of the house and into storage. Nine months later when Justin called his friends to help move them back into the house, he again showed up with his wonderful smile and quiet kind spirit to help.
Today I hope you know, all of you remain covered with a continuous prayer for a devine strength, and comfort to be with you in the days and months to follow.
I share deeply in your sorry as remembrance of Opie offers its comfort.
I pray that God will be able to help you through this tragic time.

Gonna miss you Opie! You were always a good friend, I cant think of one time that you didn't have a smile on your face!

August 17, 2009

I first met jeremy when i was about 10 years old. We were on the Galvez tigers football team. Jeremy and i were probably the two smallest guys out there but we both always seem to have a blast. Though we never really kept in touch everytime we seen each other it was always a good greeting. Some people you will never forget and Jeremy is one of those guys. Hope the best for the everyone through this tragedy.
