Dear Callie,
Just wanted to say how sorry I am for your precious loss. My heart goes out to the family that Jeremy left behind. Be strong for the girls, they need you more than ever. When you think of all the wonderful times you shared together living, laughing and loving may they help to comfort you in the days ahead. And most of all, may the God of Love sustain you with His promise of HOPE for the future. When HE will soon end all suffering on the earth! How do we know that this is not just some dream? Because what HE promises always comes to be!
HOPE;
"And He will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. And the One seated on the throne said; "Look! I am making all things NEW....these words are faithful and true."

My cousin, Lynn DeBenedetto, posted Jeremy's Obituary on her Facebook page. I am so sorry for your family. I became a widow March 14th and so wish I could say something to make all of you feel better. I have learned through my grieving process that nothing anyone says brings me comfort but having my family and friends to cry, shout, and just listen to me has helped. I never thought I would be a widow at my age even though I am older than you are - I am 43. I just want you to know I will pray for all of you!!!!!!!!!!!! My heart is so broken even though I do not know your family. God bless all of you!!!!!!!!

Mark & Cindy,
Pat and I send our condolences and prayers to you and your family on the loss of Jeremy. Although we did not know him, he had to be a good man with parents like yourselves. Mark, even though it has been many years, I still think of you and the times we worked together at the Battalion Headquarters. Calvin and I have spoken of you many times, wondering where and how you were, the same as with West and Marguerite. Well, I spoke to Marguerite a couple of days ago and gave her the news. It seems that some higher power is bringing us together again. God bless all of you, and especially Jeremy.

My loving cousin is now with my Mom--We will forever miss you both!

We are so sorry for your loss. Jeremy was so special to our entire family. He and Dustin were like brothers growing up. This tragedy has saddened all of our hearts. He had grown into such an amazing young man...good husband and father, son and friend to so many. He was so caring and helpful...anytime we needed help with our ac, he came out right away. He never seemed to mind...always smiling and sharing news about his precious little girls. He was so proud of them! I'm so sorry that Tommy and I will be unable to attend the funeral.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
